It covered a lot of ground in the opening 42 minutes, making it seem like a 2 hour premiere would not have gone amiss. <br /><br />Some questionable dialogue along the way, but could shape up to be a good adventure. It has a definite "National Treasure" vibe to it. Good news is, it looks to have no choice but to be a serial.

I've heard from several sources, and even Kim Komando, that the only way to keep people from using your cell phone to track you, and even using it as a listening device and the camera to watch you covertly, is to remove the battery. Just turning your phone off doesn't protect you. We are becoming a Person Of Interest world. http://www.ehow.com/about_6524594_can-phone-tapped-turned-off_.html uncle111https://www.blogger.com/profile/06648380991715575787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17309641.post-3384512393687799992013-01-30T20:19:05.084-08:002013-01-30T20:19:05.084-08:00Give us Sydney Bristow!!!!!Give us Sydney Bristow!!!!!uncle111https://www.blogger.com/profile/06648380991715575787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17309641.post-6655763664590204342013-01-30T19:36:44.627-08:002013-01-30T19:36:44.627-08:00Uncle, speaking of POI, we recently mentioned that...Uncle, speaking of POI, we recently mentioned that Sarah Shahi will soon be showing up in a recurring role. <br /><br />Now, we have <a href="https://twitter.com/miamaestro/status/290166641529073664/photo/1" rel="nofollow">this recent Tweet</a> from Mia Maestro.

Sweden, for instance, has an excellent <a href="http://webbkameror.se/webbkameror/gondolen/webkamera_eriks_640_4.php" rel="nofollow">assortment of webcams</a> that can keep me amused when things aren't too busy at the office. <br /><br />I'm not sure what the fascination is, but there's just something novel about being able to drop in on a Russian street corner to see what's going on when you've got a few minutes to kill.Page48https://www.blogger.com/profile/09728079057077761364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17309641.post-55353790015897179842013-01-30T14:27:20.324-08:002013-01-30T14:27:20.324-08:00Here's something that should interest you. Kom...Here's something that should interest you. Komando recently had a column in her daily newsletter that addressed the issue of a hacking vulnerability in a certain brand of webcam. That brand of webcam can be hacked and whoever hacks it can pick up the video feed from that camera. This means that whatever the camera sees, the hacker can see. Being a fan of the TV series Person Of Interest, I decided to check this out. I Googled that brand and I ended up at a website where they posted links to over 6,000 webcams they had hacked. Most of them were set to view parking lots and other outdoor scenes. Others are focused on the inside of shops, offices and factories. Some, however, were showing the inside of people's homes. These were either part of their home security system, or more likely, the camera in their computer or smart TV. Here is a link to one at a kennel where you will see dogs indoors and living in peaceful coexistence. But, think if that webcam in your home were turning the goings on in your home into a reality show for the rest of the world to see. http://cryptogasm.com/webcams/webcam.php?id=36620uncle111https://www.blogger.com/profile/06648380991715575787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17309641.post-64741111135525055512013-01-29T20:01:24.430-08:002013-01-29T20:01:24.430-08:00This poll and the accompanying comments suggest th...<a href="http://www.spoilertv.com/2013/01/usd-poll-best-jj-abrams-show.html" rel="nofollow">This poll</a> and the accompanying comments suggest that most voters consider "Alias" to be little more than an 'also-ran' in Bad Robot's stable of TV series.<br /><br />Are we "Alias" freaks turning into geezers or something?Page48https://www.blogger.com/profile/09728079057077761364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17309641.post-63831267304710053972013-01-23T13:43:45.974-08:002013-01-23T13:43:45.974-08:00Uncle, I considered checking out LOD just because ...Uncle, I considered checking out LOD just because Lennie James was in it, but I haven't gotten to it yet. <br /><br />Former "Alias" writer/producer John Eisendrath is <a href="http://insidetv.ew.com/2013/01/22/alias-producer-to-create-fbi-drama-for-nbc/" rel="nofollow">pitching a new show</a> for NBC called "The Blacklist".
