But who is to say your cell phone isn't actually doing these things? Microsoft says something and everybody immediately calls bullshit. Apple or somebody else says something and everybody goes along.
My point is why the conspiracy against Microsoft but nobody else? They're all guilty of feeding data to the NSA.
They feed access to data they have access to. Kinect gives them access to alot more data.
They cant turn on your phone or camera on your phone to listen to you when you are not using it. The kinect listens all the time, and watches whenever its turned on.
If my phone was 'always listening' you would have a point. But its not. If my camera was always on, you would have a point. But theyre not, and they cant be simply turned on by the operator.
They can listen to my phone calls, but they can do that to my landline calls. You can even turn the gps off all the time and stop location services.
Microsoft has a camera and listening device on all the time in your living room. By design. Cameras and laptops dont do that, and they cant be made to do that simply. And the government cant ask them to give access to a camera or what not, only services available, so if you use skype, they can gain access through that, or if you make calls.
But if someone is always on, they can always listen and hear, when a service is designed to do that.
Its not tin foil hat if they expressly state 'but we will fight it!'. It means its confimed its possible.
