A lot of rumors talk about the consoles either coming with there own camera (kenetic, pseye) or just being heavily into marketing them. (The Future)

Do you think that the companies could have the ability to "hack", into the cameras an be able to use them as if looking through a camcorder?

With no way of the user knowwwing.

Or could just any determined hacker do so...

I'm the person who puts tape over there built in camera on there laptop. Dont trust anything.

Just funny to me how this could be the future, permanently. So a camera in millions of homes. There could be useful information being gathered through these lenses. From both thiefs and gaming companies.

Just a thought.

Yours?

Fap (v., to fap) is internet slang for masturbation While the initial usage of fap was strictly limited to describing male masturbation amongst bros, the term has since become synonymous with act of masturbation as whole, regardless of gender. Nevertheless, a female version of the slang exists as shliking. lol

sounds about right.

However the girl counterpart is "schlicking" not "shliking" the first "c" may be removable. though i prefer it.

Just chill. Who the hell would want to spend hours trying to hack into your console to see you. No offense, but you're not that special.

you're definitely not paranoid. and people that aren't concerned over this are in deep shit even though they won't realize it until it's too late but some of them will be so brainwashed they won't even care. the unconcerned ones already say, "i love you, big brother." for proof just look through this thread, you can see them plain as day.

They can already hear you through any LAN line phone and if you have Silverlight running through a plugged in mic so why worry about visual? Sleep tight.

That's only fair. We humans have been keeping our eyes on those TVs for decades now, so it is only fair that they get to do likewise.

there will be way too many people for them to watch that even if they wanted to spy on you they'll probably have 1 worker watching 1000 different monitors at once you won't even register on their radar

Lol at all the sheep bowing down to big brother. It's like all the morons who use those stupid cards at grocery stores and stuff. Do you know why they do that? So they can keep your information and then sell it to other companies, raise the price on some items, etc.

Nope It helps reduce ball cancer and relieves stress apparently and other minor stuff. It does have one or two negatives I guess though, nothing serious unless your addicted even then you wont die.

That would be quite difficult if the rumours about the next Xbox are true that Kinect is included. Also, doesn't the PS4 come with the camera thing in the box.

If you put a camera in your home like that and do not take any precautions then you are opening yourself up to being spied on. You should never be careless with cameras. You should always put black tape over webcams, laptops, cellphone cameras, etc. Gaming accessory cameras are no exception.

What is stopping you from being spied on if you let yourself have a camera pointed at you all day? The government is already wiretapping your phones and reading your emails. What is stopping them from using your own cameras to spy on you? They have the means to do it, and they have established that they have no respect for our privacy.

No one is using my smartphone camera to spy on me. No one is using my laptop's webcam to spy on me because that lights up if it's on. I'm pretty damn sure my phones aren't bugged or whatever because the only time I've been involved with the police was when me and a bunch of friends got wrongly accused of messing around with some shopping trolleys. So there's nothing to spy on.

A camera connected to the internet is not dangerous. It can get hacked but if it does that's your fault for not browsing the internet safely.

Have you not heard of the patriot act? The government is allowed to wiretap your phone and read your emails. And I think that the US government, the most powerful organization in the world, can figure out how to activate a camera without turning a light on.

So acknowledging that the Patriot Act exists is a waste of time? If you refuse to educate yourself about these kinds of laws then you are allowing yourself to be a victim of them.

Lmfao. Good stuff gamespot. Good stuff.. How humans minds are, and how different the spectrum is, are perfectly shown in forums. Goes from immature to angry to agreeable to confused. Awesome, Just realize its not nessearliy a question of paranoia more of a question of how different things change and how less private we are as technology grows. And how accepting we are of that. Watching a family of four play a Kinect game and seeing how long it takes them before they get bored is just one way that they could change their products and see the differences. Or For how long the family stays in front of the television whether eating food watching movies playing games and then see how to increase that to benefit the company. There's a wealth of information out there just by staring at you from your television I can promise that. No matter how stupid everybody who reads the question thinks the information would be. Companies fight to acquire transaction average increases of only a few dollars. So the chance of them doing it as money grows in there pockets or tightens becomes more possible. And some of you would actually be okay with it. The solutions are simple to avoid it. But not everyone is plugged into the tech world to know what harm is being done. Just a thought provoker.

There's no point in spying on anyone when everyone is broadcasting themselves to the world, and I'm not sure if that's really a bad thing.Â
