about a year ago, i intalled a little utility called "Camera Monitor" on my Ubuntu 10.10 laptop. It simply sits in the panel and lets me know whan my camera is active. It's never come on except when i've deliberately fired up a Skype call or taken a self-portrait.
i rarely use Chrome, but recently had the occasion to watch a bunch of videos ( http://www.youtube.com/user/TransformVoice?feature=watch, <http://www.youtube.com/user/TransformVoice?feature=watch> where i'm taking singing lessons and highly recommend to anyone who wants to do the same). Apparently i'd never used YouTube since installing Camera Monitor - as soon as i landed on YouTube, i was alerted that my camera was active! Shocking! Why do the denizens of the GooglePlex want to watch me watching? A quick search via Google (doh! i guess they're already watching me...) failed to produce anything relevant. Has anyone else noticed, or read of, this behavior? -- ________________________________________ Joe Shisei Niski Portland, Oregon, USA 至誠 _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
