That is true... I think they even provided the rough code and where to get
more details is required. ;-)

Hi Jim --

Basically nothing.

Yes :)

I didn't have time to watch all the three videos - just last one partially:
Did I get correctly from that videos that "Google Photo machine" does
records geo location of all the Wi-Fi spots it finds, and because of the
fact that MAC addresses are sent unencrypted within NAT packets(?) though
Wi-Fi spots they (MAC addresses) get also recorded by "Google spies" and get
linked to the Wi-Fi spots geo locations so when one sends a query to the
special google service to get a geo location of a MAC address's hardware
then that geo location is defined very precisely for computers, which
(statically) use the same Wi-Fi spots for a long time?

Thank you.

Hi John:

I know the feeling. I have been thinking of updating my Z80 but then it
would require a new mother board and an upgrade from the 16K of memory.

I think the article is quite awesome and does let us realize just how easy
someone with the skills could hack anyone's site. Our only safety is that
once someone hacked in...What would they have? Basically nothing.

Jim

No, I'm just listening to this guy talk about all of these esoteric things,
how to discover this 30 bits and look at this code in this part of the
browser and ...

I need a bios upgrade so I can plug in a new 12 core processor.
