re: #341 formercorpsman

Morning formercorspman! If you’re reading here this morning (or afternoon) I’m sorry I conked out last night.

I’ve been using a PC and the internet before the World Wide Web was even created so I understand about electronic privacy and it’s absolutely a concern, but I think we’re probably more on the same page here (har har) than it appears.

Obviously technology that lets you remotely manipulate a medical device, saving both the patient and doctor time and money is terrific. In fact, they have all your personal info anyway so it’s not even really an argument, but I brought it up to make a point. Both the Kindle and this medical technology are not harvesting personal info in any kind of covert manner. It would certainly hinge on paranoia to believe they are. Unless you’re uni-bomber-esque living in a shack in the hills of Kentucky I suppose.

ShanghaiEd got it down in post #315. I don’t remember this much fuss on the Right when Bush was wiretaping phones and emails. Then it was all for the good of the State.

If you use any of these electronics, you really have no right to complain about this mishap by Amazon IMO.
