Stolen laptops phone home

It's reporting your IP not coding all you do......: I personally don't care if somebody discovers my ip address. This is nothing like the Intel scandal from years ago when every Cpu had an unique ID and was purportedly being developed for secure internet transactions........now that one was invasion of privacy I don't care what anyone says having every document produced on the machine marked and every sales of sex toys or a hard drive marked.........that's an invasion of privacy. This is just like lojack for your computer...personally I don't have an issue with it and if you do...then fine you've got the freedom to turn it off. The intel scandal years ago claimed they shut it off but folks found out it could be reactivated remotely without the user knowing it...if this can be activated remotely then perhaps is is a problem but if it can't be....I don't see it as a big issue.; Posted by: suemccartin Posted on: 04/16/08 You are currently: a Guest | Members login | Terms of Use
