I'm glad I never let my cell out of my sight, it's either laying right in front of me on the table or on my belt...

Also glad my life is quiet, any would be unauthorized listeners would be bored by me lol.

Sorry I couldn't embed it, it won't let me.

According to the reporter, though, he had to install software on the producer's phone in order to spy on her calls. There are probably other ways of spying, though. The main tip should be to always keep your phone in your possession, which seems like common sense to me.

Re: This is scary stuff! Your cell might be spying on you.

It's a predictable and natural outgrow of the technology. Nothing terribly surprising here, despite the typical "local news" alarmist tone.

If someone wants to spy on you, they have wide variety of available means at their disposition. I know a guy who confirmed his wife's adultery by bugging her car.

Are you prepared against the more traditional ways of invading you privacy? For most of us, the answer is 'no'. So I am not gonna worry the cell. Anyone who has the desire and means of listening in on me already is...

I'm not at all worried about my cell phone. I don't trust my toaster, though. Sneaky bastard is always watching me. He turns away when I look at him, but I know what he's doing. The blender tips me off...

Oh, you hate your job? Why didn't you say so? There's a support
group for that. It's called EVERYBODY, and they meet at the bar.
