    Some of it I'm sure. The NSA is all about listening to every sort of electronic transmission - email, text message, internet traffic, wireless transmissions, etc. Did you pay attention to the original Snowden leaks? My understanding is that Google, Yahoo, Verizon, AT&T, et al., were all basically in full cooperation with the NSA.

    That's been my assertion for years. Google is organized enough that they can find the information. The .gov has been warehousing the data..but lotsa' luck finding anything.

    I wish technology solved people issues. It seems to just reveal them.

    If you guys do that, check out the app called "ibotta."

    A travel website was busted for having higher pricing if you were browsing on a Mac. They figured your disposable income was higher.

    For some products (Apple, Bose, home appliances, etc.), pricing is set by the manufacturer.
    So today, an app that I've never ever used, Peel Smart Remote (formerly WatchOn) that is preloaded on many phones, just starts itself up on my phone as soon as a movie I recorded from the free HBO weekend on Dish started.

    Coincidence?

    I also noticed my Tab Pro has mysteriously turned Google voice response on all by itself, I assume after an update.
    My Feedback
    Credit TFOGGER : Liberals only want things to be "fair and just" if it benefits them.
    Credit Zundfolge: The left only supports two "rights"; Buggery and Infanticide.
    Credit roberth: List of things Government does best; 1. Steal your money 2. Steal your time 3. Waste the money they stole from you. 4. Waste your time making you ask permission for things you have a natural right to own. "Anyone that thinks the communists won't turn off your power for being on COAR15 is a fucking moron."

    Discussion is an exchange of intelligence. Argument is an exchange of
    ignorance. Ever found a liberal that you can have a discussion with?
