Call me paranoid, but I've never been willing to leave a mic (or camera) plugged in for this very reason -- that some hacker and/or malware might turn them on and be listening (and/or watching) at any time without my knowledge.

So far, pulling the plug is pretty hard to beat.
Be kind of hard to do on a laptop.

I will never get a car with o star for that reason. It looks like I will be taking off my webcam after I use it. At least my webcam has a green light when it turns on. We should chant *UCK google and laugh to see what ads come up after that :) Thank god for my dell side usb ports on the monitor. What a sweet feature. Every monitor should have that. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,16840888 Mon, 04 Sep 2006 21:11:02 EDT Re: Also http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,16840903 RipRap :

It must be based on something similar to FLASH being able to monitor the microphone without user intervention... if you have never right clicked a flash movie/banner etc. try it ... you may be surprised!
I took my USB webcam down... just in case. But in all candor, nothing salacious ever happens in my dining room(yet)...

Meanwhile...

"Bau Bau Chikka Chikka Bau Bau..." *Sound effect from an episode of "Friends" wherein the guys "got" free porn on cable TV and they were afraid to turn off the TV for fear of losing it forever...*

Time to turn off the boxen(or the mic...hmmm...) and give it a well-deserved break... Don't want the rest of the internet having some audio from the boudoir at the other end of the house...

Hmmm... Early morning; kids are still asleep; wifey-poo is looking pretty good; Flash has been effectively banished from the mix... If you'll excuse me-there's a dining room table that needs to be broken in... ;)
