since I use gmail (which is so good) and since I do allow it to scan the
content of my email, I guess I am a lost cause. I mean, I would prefer if
it didn't scan the contents of my email, but it doesn't really bother me
if it does. Perhaps that knowledge that it does has prevented me from
making some stupid statements that I otherwise might not have. I do think
that anyone who thinks anything they do on a computer connected to the
internet is really private is nuts.


Furthermore, if it is true that Intel chips have for some time have had
built-in 3G capabilities . . . . . then it doesn't matter whether you are
connected to the internet or not. They know what you're doing!

http://www.techeye.net/chips/intel-responds-to-always-on-3g-processor-conspiracyIntel's 3G capabilities have been discussed since 2013. I mean, given
that, who cares what MS collects? Our machines are not private at the
hardware level. If anything in those articles is true - - I
can't tell!
