That sounds like tinfoil hat rumouring, but I have seen something similarly disconcerting, with flash on some pages: While viewing the odd page with flash on, I've noticed the "on" light for my webcam light up. Of course, I can't tell if that's just because a driver has woken up something, or if the camera is actually sending. But my flash preferences were set to always deny access. Unfortunately, this webcam is one built into my laptop, so simply disconnecting is not an option. I've opened up as much of the laptop as I can without risking breaking bits, and I can't find a connection for the camera. So mine has tape over it, now. -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -r 2.6.27.25-78.2.56.fc9.i686 Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
