"software on the laptop samples the ambient audio in five-second chunks, then "irreversibly compresses" it into summary statistics (this means that no one is eavesdropping on you; the actual audio never leaves your laptop)."
And if your tv has a headphone jack or you are using a media center pc or tv tuner on your computer, google could just bypass the microphone and record the tv sound directly via the line-in or just selecting the tv audio source. Less chance for errors and no security risk. |
