No no, you had it all wrong! It was reviews that the nature that came back was glowing!
Good job using so much caps dude. Calm down. Yelling doesn't make you look good. There's two ways to look at this:
- Verizon is doing people a favor by securing their routers a little more
- Verizon has a backdoor
FYI the option to backdoor isn't set by the tech per-se. The tech runs a program that executes several scripts. Whether the default firmware for these devices has this option on by default OR if the script does it I am not sure of. But it's normal practice for them to have this setup as is. The issue at hand is that they have a way back into your router. My guess is that, for the most part, it's there for maintenance, status checking (i.e. do you have an actual internet connection) or password resetting if the user forgets it. POSSIBLY for data monitoring, but I'm not going to say that's true, nor am I going to rule it out.
But Jesus, next time don't use such harsh words. Try thinking first.
Uhhh correct me if I'm wrong but isn't this kinda information already available on either the blotter or otherwise? If it's available for public consumption you can't call "invasion of privacy" on this cause then there WOULD be no invasion of privacy! And seriously, come on:
- I think the police have better things to do than claim somebody was drunk driving when they weren't. I'm sure there's false positives, but I'm pretty sure technology is down to a tee by now
- If you REALLY think they're out to get people and fake this, well, I'm sure you'd think there's a studio NASA used to fake the moon landing too
- Do you think people who drive drunk really DESERVE respect?
Let's not forget that Houston once covered the residents of New Orleans in a dome
The fuss was the wording: It originally had a part along the lines of "or any use of a mobile phone" in addition to a non-exhaustive list of common bans (i.e.: handheld calls, texting). This vagueness was what stirred up news about it. However it has since been amended.
The only thing I'll say to that is that it shouldn't be VERY bad. Sometimes things are SO bad that you remember them more BECAUSE they're bad. It should be a mediocre game with mediocre ads. If it's too bad of a game, then the subject may start examining just HOW horrible it is and looking at details including how cheesy or horrible the ads are, thus paying more attention to the ads.
I have many times found a URL again very easily with the so called "awful bar". Sometimes I remember part of a URL, sometimes I remember part of the title. It's useful. If you don't think it's useful you're just kidding yourself.
According to the article they also used "SQL injection" except they described it wrong.

Somebody get that fail whale out of the way! It's blocking my view!
Say something you'll be sorry for, I love receiving apologies.
