Verizon has filed a patent for a cable box equipped with a microphone and motion sensors to record what its customers are doing. That means the television will be watching the viewers watching it. The idea was that Verizon could target advertisements to what their customer are doing while watching TV. Liz Walh explains whether this new policy sits well with privacy advocates.

    I know. You listen to CDs on your Tv sumteemz bot eye watch DVDs and I have to say that the directives one gets from Tv and Radio drives one to drink. This is why Elvis put a bullet into his screen.

    'They' have materialized demon into a form and wish us to comply to it's intent.

    Witches will pay dearly for past homicides, yes?

    A new court is in session. Upon death 'they' will be charged, awaiting trial. (They don't know what NEW actually means on our side)

    The world isn't real. It's Hostware.

    Psyopsopopsicles have been watching me for years without the aid of a Tv etc.

    This is stupid. Their own technology is catching up with them. Programs were set into motion aeons ago. Some of us are just here to comically bring in their 'new year'. How touching.

    They phuk with me with this shite....and me them.

    Let's see how this plays out.
