sigh... really, why dont you just wrap with foil the Kinect after you make your awesome tin foil hat, so you would be sure to block any magical spying power?
when will you stop your.......behaviour? for all your posts you have written, you are not even getting Xbox One, so why are you so worried about it having Kinect? you don't even know what it does, how it will do it. but hey the engineer says you can turn the system off completely, so at least none would spy you while the xbox is off *sarcasm*
why are you even in Internet if you are so afraid of someone spying on you? (well you are the one making this stupid "spying theory" not me) you know.. internet = make it easier for someone to spy you and know about you. but but... you know what is this site about? about windows PHONE. you know... phones have cameras, or are you using a non existent consumer windows phone with no camera? or maybe you cover the camera with a tape or something? wow.. just start to sell your tv, your computer, your cameras, your phones because EVERYONE is and will spy you!!. you are so interesting everyone wants to spy you *sarcasm again obviously.*
the vision with Microsoft and Kinect is one.. if you don't like it, just don't get it. if you cant even see (and they showed it) why Microsoft wants Kinect on it, in every xbox one sold, then you are really blind and you have no vision for an innovative future. there is no proves or anything to back up your amazing spying theory anyway... or do you have one? oh well, I know you have nothing to back it up. next retard story/rumor/complain theory please?
but have a good day!
Well, I think we can answer your ridiculous question of why I am on the Internet VERY easily. My concern with that is related to the Kinect. It functions like a webcam in that respect. I do not possess a webcam, so there is no camera on my computer for anyone to watch what I do.
See, what I don't get with all of these people disagreeing with my opinion on plugging the Kinect in is that most seem to just want to say "it's not a big deal to do it." They're not saying (with the exception of Mystictrust, who seems to be the only one who cares to actually UNDERSTAND what I am saying and have an intelligent discussion) WHY I am wrong. I mean, Winning Guy say it's because they want it to function as a "personal assistant," and that's fine. That doesn't explain the 100% requirement of usage. You want to sit can call me "paranoid," and "retarded," simply because I don't want to plug in my Kinect. You say I'm overblowing the intent here, but it's more that I don't want to support the OPPORTUNITY to spy in the future (be it with the Xbox One's Kinect or other household visual hardware, like a webcam). I'm not saying that it WILL happen, just that I don't like the thought of having it happen. Call it something out of
1984 that can never happen all you want, but the thought of a camera that must be given power for the console to work has the POTENTIAL to be used for the purpose of spying. Oh, and for all of the thoughts of safety in the Terms of Use, remember that this government forces the collection of people's phone records without telling them and that we've had illegal wiretapping scandals. The American government loves to work outside of the law as much as possible, and they could certainly call out "national security" or "Patriot Act" to attempt to justify spying with the Kinect, if they wanted. Again, it's not a matter of I'm saying something WILL happen, just that I don't like the possibility of it.
You're also failing to read the entirety of my posts, it seems, which is how you jump to the conclusion of my not getting an Xbox One. I've stated that based on the current, concrete evidence present at the time ($500 price tag, Kinect purchase required, 24-hour check-in, Kinect present to run, only letting someone who is friends on LIVE for 30 to borrow a game, and only ONCE, etc.), I would not be interested in purchasing an Xbox One. That is not a statement that there is no way I would buy one, only a statement that the then-current information would keep me from buying the console.
Now, if you were to actually read all of my posts (not that I expect you to, as that's a stupid request), you'll see that I've liked some of the newer information available. That this guy claims that the Kinect can be 100% powered down is a plus, though my legitimately-paranoid (not even trying to hide that fact) curiosity there is if Microsoft can override that powered-down command and start it up, or if they'll just have so many things require the Kinect to be running that shutting it down isn't an option for many features.
(Example: Microsoft was shown filing a patent for a system in which the Kinect was used to watch for how many people were in a room while a video rental was being watched. The rental cost was based on a per-person attendance, and if more people entered the room, the Kinect would see that and stop the movie to require another license be purchased to support more viewers. In that case, it might be that they would not allow video rentals to be played with the Kinect turned off.)
I've also liked the fleshing out of the ten "family member" groups that has received some clarity. If it's true that a single license can be shared fully among 10 users, and multiple users can access the game simultaneously, that's a big deal in lowering software costs for users. If they follow the Steam model of big, frequent sales to keep game costs low, that's a plus as well. That kind of stuff is what I'm reading up on still, because those kinds of features can change my mind on getting the Xbox One.
Where you seem to be mistaken is that I've got this concrete decision to never purchase an Xbox One. However, I'm still here discussing it because I'm, in fact, trying to get more information on how it works, because additional information is what will decide if I ultimately purchase the system or now.
