The major players, such as WhatsApp, of the IT industry are not interested in losing their free users. [Niuxin]
Comments: 8A hacking or an open door?
I have come across people on the Internet who would pay to have somebody spy on them through their modern analogue pixelated CCTV cameras. In this world of not judging people i would not say they were mentally defective just mentally different. Most of the CCTV cameras sold to the West are made in China, and the majority of them have backdoor passwords.
Comments: 9A very expensive Chinese CCTV camera that has a backdoor password also sells the same product without a name a non-named product at a fraction of the price without it software but with the backdoor password. So-called old technology HD-SDI DVR camera systems, are far superior to so-called modern home security systems that are cheap nasty CCTV analogue cameras.
HD-SDI DVR is digital not analogue. Digital uncompressed crystal clear image just like watching your modern flat screen television. And for some reason PR analogue systems are being sold as new technology. Analogue technology is almost definitely older than you and me.. HD-SDI digital is almost definitely younger then you or me but HD-SDI digital is classed as old technology.
Cheap and nasty analogue is cheap to make cheap to mass-produce and thus is the reason it is classed as modern technology compared to the superior digital HD-SDI.
You can sell a dead dog as a guard dog to a dumb person but is it moral to do so.
Moral is from the Latin "moralis" so therefore may be obsolete for the modern world and definitely obsolete to Silicon Valley and its equivalent in China.
I know in Turkey you can sell at an inflated price virgin donkeys, but how do they know it is a virgin?
P.S. i am not judging virgins donkeys or the Turkish.
Thank you [Philip]

Why is Facebook not classed as a virus or an undesirable website.
Comments: 14Memorabilia I got the urge to search for somebody who I knew when I was a teenager. I searched and searched and searched and eventually I found the name and they had some pictures of when they was a teenager and I recognised them!
The virus called Facebook would not let me contact them unless I registered to go on Facebook. I did so I registered. They wanted my e-mail address ok. They wanted my date of birth made one up. And hey presto I was on the virus called Facebook.
I sent the person a message and then logged off of the virus called Facebook. I went to have a look to see whether my old friend had answered me.
I tried to log on to Facebook and it said I could not logon until I gave them my mobile telephone number for advertising reasons.
I refuse to give them my telephone number but I can no longer delete myself off of the virus called Facebook because I cannot log on to them to delete my account. It was only a temporary account to contact an old teenager friend.
And now this dreadful virus called Facebook has got me on their Facebook although there is no information about me they still have my e-mail address.
Now I have got to go for this long long routine of reporting them to the data protection agency just to get deleted. The Facebook virus should definitely be listed in antivirus products.
Now I am suffering from stress! [Philip]
