lord_casek Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 AND SMASH THAT MOTHERFUCKER! Google To Fingerprint Voices With PC Microphones This weekend The Register published an article named Google developing eavesdropping software. The article describes how Google uses existing PC microphones fingerprinting technology to show relevant ads that appeal more to you. The article goes on to explain how the sound fingerprinting works; it "breaks sound into a five-second snippets to pick out audio from a TV, reducing the snippet to a digital "fingerprint", which it matches on an internet server." Privacy folks are worried about the repercussions of such software. http://blog.searchenginewatch.com/blog/060904-105025 http://yro.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=06/09/03/2148216 http://www.theregister.co.uk/2006/09/03/google_eavesdropping_software/ just thought everyone should know about this since google is old NSA technology anyhow. they've also recently moved to old NASA facilities in the past year. best to be forewarned.
