Toys with microphones

jeudi 9 mars 2017 à 01:00

"CloudPets" toys with microphones leak childrens' conversations to the manufacturer. Guess what? Crackers found a way to access the data collected by the manufacturer's snooping.

That the manufacturer and the FBI could listen to these conversations was unacceptable by itself.

Work visa

jeudi 9 mars 2017 à 01:00

When Celestine Omin tried to enter the US on a work visa, he was grilled by an immigration agent with vague technical questions, supposedly to prove he was really a software engineer.

The agent didn't understand his answers, and threatened to exclude him. Fortunately, other agents called his employer, who verified he is an engineer.

Regardless of details, it is absurd to ask a professional to prove his qualifications to someone who knows nothing about per field as a condition for immigration.

It is pointless anyway. What exactly is the wrong that agent was trying to prevent? That a company would arrange a work visa for the CEO's lover? That might be fraud, but there is no need to investigate such a suspicion at passport control.
