I found the link about how health information gets collected from web searches....kind of bothersome.

    I can live with the data collection thing. At least you're made aware of it by the fine print. I don't find this near as creepy as Samsung smart tv's watching you. THAT really disturbs me.

    You too? I thought I was the only one that didn't think that the "smart tv" idea was "cool". Mind you, I don't have a cell phone either. Privacy is becoming a thing of the past.

    Isn't that crazy? Had no clue until we went tv shopping. Guy at Best Buy told me...."don't buy a Samsung if you don't want someone to see or hear you". Honestly, all I could think of was "Seriously? I have to care about what I look like to watch tv???" So nuts.
