New OP: https://www.neowin.net/news/microsoft-xbox-smartglass-can-be-used-to-spy-on-your-kids (3/28/2013)

Original OP (thread locked) https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/1143224-new-xbox-won%E2%80%99t-let-you-play-unless-it%E2%80%99s-spying-on-you/page__fromsearch__1 (3-22-2013)

This should settle the subject since the NEW OP shows that a guy was able through his cellphone to spy on his kids. To me what seems like a innocent technology can be abused. I hope this sheds some light on the overall picture that the tech can be misused. I wouldn't be surprised if the DHS jumps on asking for a tool to access and see what we are doing.

best advice is to unplug the system out of the wall socket when you are done or leave the house.

peace!

Spot on. If you don't trust your hardware then simply unplug it.

If you don't want people looking into your living room, don't bring a connected camera in.

Didn't you already have one topic closed on you because you posted the EXACT same baseless topic before ?

And how does your baseless thread title have anything to do with your post or the news you're using to back up yoru ridiculous title ?

Thomas later added that she got a laugh out of repeatedly pausing her husband's Netflix stream while he sat at home trying to figure out why his movie kept stopping.

That's funny.

$10 says you didn't actually read the article you're posting about, since a) SmartGlass is already available on the current gen XBOX and b) All it lets you do is see what games are being played...which NEWSFLASH, can already be seen on the internet through XBOX Live gamer cards.

EDIT: c) Smartglass is an optional feature.

Mods can we close this thread? It's pointless. :p
