XBox One - Big Brother in your room

[newworldafro]

What Microsoft is doing with the Xbone is unprecedented and unheard of in America. They want to sell you a system that spys on you, record your activities to sell to advertisement companies, and they want to own what you bought.

Here are proofs of these anti-consumer acts.

1. United States Patent Application: 0120278904

This patent above shows that your xbone would snitch on you while your are using it to watch a movie with your family in your living room because they only allow a limit of eyes to watch contents.

2. Kinect for Xbox One: An always-on, works-in-the-dark camera and microphone. What could possibly go wrong? | ExtremeTech

The Kinect 2 that is required on every xbone system is alway listening to you , it can even see in the dark, and it has built in heart rate detection
So, you can't hide in the day, you have to watch what you say, and you can't point it at the wall because it detects heart rates.

3. Microsoft owns the content that you buy. They do not allow you to sell or share your the games that you buy. This is unprecedented because you wil have to buy everything new and at full price even when the games are old, and 10 years down the line, the game collection you own might not work at all..Think of any product that you can buy that you are not allowed to resell or share to make profit for yourself..

This shyts disgusting..

good thread......they were saying this about the first version....folks were so hyped about the product (which is cool in of itself) .... but its way deeper than a game system as they were talking about over a year ago ...

Microsoft Mum On Skype Surveillance As Privacy Advocates Call For Transparency

Privacy advocates are calling on Microsoft to disclose whether -- and how often -- governments are snooping on Skype users, a move that comes as the software giant integrates the popular video and voice messaging program with its Office productivity suite.

In an open letter released Thursday, groups including the Electronic Frontier Foundation and Reporters Without Borders ask Microsoft to reveal whether law enforcement can eavesdrop on calls among Skype's 250 million monthly users worldwide.

"It is unfortunate that these users, and those who advise them on best security practices, work in the face of persistently unclear and confusing statements about the confidentiality of Skype conversations, and in particular the access that governments and other third parties have to Skype user data and communications," they write. "The time has come for Microsoft to publicly document Skype’s security and privacy practices."

In the mid-2000s Skype was considered one of the best ways to avoid the prying eyes of government or third parties because of its tough encryption and hard-to-tap peer-to-peer networks. In 2008, a Skype spokesperson told CNET that it did not even have the capability to comply with law enforcement requests for wiretaps.

Which is why it will suck in comparison.

I wasn't making the comparison on that level. Jesus, dude.
