“Please keep in mind that if you said includes personal or confidential information, that information will also be among the data recorded and transmitted to third parties.” This is not a phrase before the interrogation protocol, and the user agreement to the Smart TV Samsung.
item on the use of customer data. In short, it boils down to this: if your TV is turned on voice recognition system, then whatever you say will be recorded and stored. Moreover, even if you turn off the system, a smart TV will record all the text that you enter. This is done, as indicated in the agreement to improve speech recognition. And also – to create individual playlists based on the user’s interests.
In principle, nothing new, but confuse the words “third parties”. Ie, Samsung, for the first time on the market, has publicly stated that he had received any word unwary customer can be transferred somewhere at the discretion of the company. At the same time, just turn off the surveillance impossible. That is, Samsung will somehow know how you are using the TV.
Here’s another phrase from the user agreement: “If you turn off individual advice, information and content that is displayed in the service SmartTV, you may be wrong interesting. Samsung is still able to collect information about your use of SmartTV for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy Samsung “.
Of course, all immediately recalled Orwellian dystopia” 1984 “and the ubiquitous” telescreen “that in general, it takes about the same: “He caught every word, if it is not too pronounced in a low whisper; moreover, as long as Winston remained in sight of muddy plate, he was not only heard but also seen. Of course, no one did not know, watching him at the moment or not. How often do and on what schedule is connected to your cable Thought Police – this could only guess “.
Samsung, at least be honest about it warned . Moreover, these rules are written, of course, not yesterday – just not all, even in the West, where he found scandalous items read the user agreement. What can we say about Russia. Although the head of the Russian language on the protection of personal data transferred.
Prior to Samsung smart TV manufacturers thorny issue of surveillance in the user agreement passed it by. So, a couple of years ago, a British blogger discovered in outgoing traffic of your LG TV about the fact that he looked and even about what files are on the flash drive, which it connects to the device. Moreover, even after point to collect information about viewing was off the menu, some of the data still continued to flow out to the side.
Note that many TVs and integrated video camera, which is responsible for gesture control. That is, continuously records the movements of the user and possibly also writes something somewhere and dispatched. But more about that in the user agreement is not yet written.

In Europe this Monday started selling the first serial mobile smartphone operating system Ubuntu. This is an open Operating System developed by Canonical kernel-based Linux. How, by the way, and Android, which is an alternative system and represent.
The very smart company does BQ, registered in Spain, with an assembly line in China. In our country, it is widely known for its low-end phones on Android. Phone called Aquaris E4.5. The figure indicates the screen size. The device is not very big and seemingly quite simple. Inside, everything is too modest: quad-core processor, 1GB of RAM and 8 GB of internal memory. There are two cameras, the main shoots video as Full-HD. And yet – the phone “dvuhsimochny”.
It is interesting that Aquaris to preset “safe” messenger Paul Durov Telegram, for breaking a cipher whose creator has promised a reward of $ 300 thousand. But his character is still not found.
The very OSes arranged some simple and interesting primarily for those for whom the word “Ubuntu” – and so is not an empty phrase. ”s Desktop “system is widely installed on the server, so the” civil “as used mainly to those who with these servers directly connected. That is, by geeks.
Here it is necessary to recall that create a smartphone at Canonical have conceived a long time. And initially conceived something really unusual – a smartphone that would contain a full desktop Ubuntu, and could work as a system unit. That is, it can be installed in the docking station and connect it to a monitor, keyboard and mouse. This machine had to be very powerful to completely (or almost completely) to serve as a home computer.
The funds for the production ubuntufona began to gather on Indiegogo. And for the first night with nearly $ 4 million. The start was promising. However, as soon as all concerned, technically gifted citizens “chipped” and they turned out a bit, fundraising stalled. Conceived abroad 32 million project has not overcome. Geeks were left without their smartphone.
However, most likely, they will find a way to make even a modest desktop device as Aquaris. The more that the price had not so much – about 170 euros.
