(post music, marky mark singing good vibrations)

Accelerometers used to track keyboard vibrations, http://www.cc.gatech.edu/~traynor/papers/traynor-ccs11.pdf
https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6456360 It's definitely far from being an easy attack. But it raises an interesting question in that the current smartphone security models don't require special permissions for accelerometer access whereas they do for cameras and other things. With this kind of stuff and other advances in activity recognition, allowing any app to record anything using the accelerometer might become a privacy threat.

Both Android and iPhone expose an accelerometer API even to web pages without user input, although I'm not sure what the sample rate is. reply
Go Lonsdale and Palantir! Stop raven from snowcrash from hurting us all, track those keystrokes using the oculus rift HMD accelerometer (and all the rest) , now I can start selling this product to my Pentagon friends and Keith Alexander! (he is jumping for joy in his star trek command center captains chair) LOL! posting music care of the beach boyz, good vibrations! (LOL!) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q32mzHQU58U (I know I know, I promised to leave, this was just too funny to pass up, will go back under my rock now, please forgive me Jaron)

I wonder if that is something you would celebrate with others seeing as it took him 20+ years to earn.

"I hope there are people who love the feature and post more," says Facebook's product manager excitedly about the new feature they just added. We suspect people will not... As The WSJ reports, starting Wednesday, the app has the ability to recognize music and television shows playing in the vicinity of users. Read that again... 'in the vicinity of users'. In other words, Facebook is unveiling its own NSA-style eavesdropping feature (on you and all your friends). Don't worry though... even if users decide not to share what they’re hearing or watching, Facebook will hold onto the data in anonymous form, keeping tabs on how many users watched particular shows. Sound familiar?


LOL! Privacy? What is that?

CYBER! Palmer! PEASE! Guys thank you so much for helping us catch the RAVENS in SNOWCRASH, those evil terrorists we need to spy on, to protect the rest of us, sincerely, I really mean it, thanks guys. Some people bitch about TSA airplane stuff, but I will gladly sacrifice a few minutes of time to go through GOOD SECURITY (not the crap I have ancountered with lax/bad security) to ensure no one is getting on my plane with a bomb to kill me, so I really do want to protect the system, but how much privacy do we give away to ensure that? Did Ben Franklin say something about privacy and security? (Certainly Franklin didn't think about RAVEN in SNOWCRASH riding around with a NUKE on his motorcycle, so I am all for the NSA and our DC boyz protecting the rest of us, but lets make it transparent as much as we can, design the system to be so robust, so that "secrecy" of the monitoring is not the KEY STRENGTH it has to protect us, that even if it is KNOWN, it can still stop a RAVEN from hurting the rest of us)

So Palmer and Cyber, I am all for GOOD VR security, I really don't want to be destroyed by a RAVEN, sincerely, but don't let it devolve into lax crappy VR security if you can help it. Where our rights are eroded but we don't get any good VR security in exchange for it.
