Oh, please. I said the same thing about my own self, regardless of the fact that I'm thin. I'm pretty sure if some wild-eyed hacker managed to get onto my webcam, and turn it on, and IF I actually sat on my home 'puter in the all-together, he'd sign off pretty damn quick. Scalded eyeballs, indeed. There are exceedingly few bathing-beauty ladies in the late-middle-age-to-older crowd.

Would it have been okay to say, if I left out the part about her weight? It would have been funny then? Sorry, but really--if someone's worried, why the hell would they sit around, on their computer, in front of their own damn eyeball, NAKED? If I was to do that, as I said, any hacker would get the eyeful he damn well deserved, and he'd probably have second thoughts before doing it again.

It's okay to laugh at the paranoid person, who had the FBI neighbor--but not someone who's paranoid about her appearance? So, laughing at dumb is good?

I refuse to sit around, thinking that spies and hackers and peepers are trying to view me on my own damned webcam. If people are actually concerned that electronic peeping toms are watching them, either a) dress up and make the best of it, or b) use whatever you have to cover up the lens. Use the slide, turn them around, or cover it with a piece of cloth.

What's the exact security issue? Seriously? WHAT, exactly, is that hacker getting, from your webcam, itself?


What, they can see what's behind your head, in case it's worth stealing? Hope they're all hopped up about my bookcase. Quite frankly, if some hacker gets into my webcam, I have MUCH bigger issues to worry about than whether or not he saw my bookcase. The webcam isn't the security issue--it's that they got that FAR.
