Was your TV watching you? On Wednesday,Jason Huntley, aka "DoctorBeet," discovered his LG TV was transmitting the names of programs he was viewing, and the next day another blogger found that his LG was also transmitting the names of files from his local network. Friday, LG issued a statement that claims: "This feature ... was never fully implemented and no personal data was ever collected or retained," HAHAHA Graham Cluley crunches the complete statement from LG if you're interested:   http://grahamcluley.com/2013/11/lg-firmware-update-spy-tv/

INDYRADIO

bring the ruckus to Facebook:  http://facebook.com/IndyRadio

The future of radio comes not from the Tower of Corporate Media but through WiFi and cellphone it now belongs to us. Circa 2013 we have a window of opportunity since web radio is received on desktops, mobiles and phones without added charges, and there are more than 50,000 free independent stations you can access with simple software. You don't need to download files, or worry about how much storage your device has available.
