The IDG group's Computerworld website yesterday disclosed 20 of the IT industry's dirty secrets, which are rarely known to consumers. So who's "they"? It could be Google or a product manufacturer, probably your boss or a wireless carrier, or Hollywood or Uncle Sam.
Why don't they want you to know? Because your phone, your camera, your boss may be watching you. If you know these things, then it's not very good for them to do it again.
Below is the 20 secrets that Computerworld uncovered in the industry.
1, your ISP is the copyright police
2, the flight on the phone will not cause a plane crash
3. Can the network be "private" or "Browse with a pseudonym"? No!
4, you buy printer cartridges spend too much money
5. End User License Agreement may not be implemented
6. Cyber warfare is heating up, and Uncle Sam is losing the war.
7, Google may betray you
8. Pacemakers and other implants may be hacked
9, your computer may be killing you.
10, anti-virus software does not protect your security
11, your cell phone will reveal your home address
12, the so-called "cheap" smart phone actually kill you a knife
13, your web cam may be monitoring you
14, your boss can (at least can do) monitor your computer
15, your passport may make you the target of the criminal wireless attack
16. Social networking never forgets what you've done
17. You can terminate any service contract without being punished for it.
18. The National Security Agency (NSA) is eavesdropping on your data stream

20. Your geo-location information is by no means private.
I hope these secrets don't make you feel creepy.
