Listen "30 Dispelling Myths"
Episode Synopsis
It's been a while since we've had a one-on-one episode with just you and me, dear listener, so here it is.First, I answer a fan mail asking about the Wallace Memorial Microphone.I then discuss Chrome Extensions and the Chrome Web App Extension Store - offering both illegal and legal extensions that HARVEST YOUR DATA. Nobody should use any of them. Also, App Stores claim to protect you from rogue publishers, but they fail to do so.Next, I get another post card from the power company begging me to get a "Smart" thermostat. They promise me I'll be "in control" when in reality, The Cloud, the power company, and the government are the ones in control.Finally, we call out a new legal scam called Smart Meter Guard. They promise to block radio frequencies that come out of your router, but that's a router's JOB. It's like me telling you to put duct tape on all of your light bulbs to protect yourself from all that nasty light they give off.Tell your friends!
