Samsung, so you think you are safe?

Stories and information like the ones you showed can definitely effect an advertisers bottom like if too much information were to be released regarding their inner workings. "Too much information may be dangerous."

Better they stick to "Jersey Shore".

That's what the OP said.

I used to work in the Defense Industry and when Computers and CRT displays came along. some bright spark in a multi billion dollar government test facility determined that Russian Spys could use sophisticated listening and scanning devices to read the text displayed on the screen of the CRT from outside of the building - for a while it caused major disruption as they discussed using aluminum foil etc to block the signals. Eventually common sense prevailed!

Everyone from the janitor on up was required to have *Secret* Clearance. If your clearance was still in process (new hires), you were required to have an escort everywhere. Same for visitors.

At all the entries you placed your ID/badge on a viewer - and security could also see you on a monitor for comparison.

One guy thought he would put it to the test, attached a pic of Alfred E. Newman (Mad Magazine) over his ID pic.
No problem, "buzzed" right in.
Of course, he was forever known as a dead-ringer for Alfred, his twin, etc., etc.

Another funny thing was - a visitor couldn't get close to the printers as they might see something they shouldn't.......as it
zoomed thru at XXX lines per minute, LOL!
Carbons from multi copy paper had to be saved for proper destruction.

BTW - No special dress requirements (no suits, etc.) - if you liked Hawaiian shirts and Bermuda shorts, no problem. Mgmt did the same.
I was a newbie. One day in the computer room, a fellow worker pointed out a guy with a small group, and said,
"That's Jules Schwartz" - - me: "Yeah, and his brother is Herbie Schwartz!"

"No, no! - he's the guy that 'invented' the computer programming language - *JOVIAL*."

Jules Own Version of the International Algorithmic Language -
Still in use in military and scientific applications.

Jules had a cool Hawaiian shirt, LOL!

All you people who think aluminum foil will keep them from getting into your brain are completely off base. You must have a molded lead helmet to protect yourself properly.

Just read that in an article posted in the Roswell Journal.

I just hope whoever's watching Francesca TV is prepared to be bored to death.

Most of the stuff that is on TV is pretty bad, but not nearly as bad as watching me stare the TV. If they get really lucky they may get to see me yawn right before I turn it off and head to bed. If watching someone watch TV was my job, I believe I would actively be seeking to change careers.

That's what you think, you good lookin' devil, you! You could use a shave, though...;)

Well, in that case I'm safe.. My Samsung TV was an older (NOt smart) model and it utterly faileld last winter and got replaced with a newer HD non-Samsung.

Neither of them had a camera

Now this thread is funny! :)
