Re: Covert Microphone Application

[Matt Burnett <marukka () mac com>]

Wouldnt it just be a lot easier for you or your boss to disconnect  
the microphone cable than going though some elaborate scheme to prove  
it could possibly be done? If they can "ruled" any laptop at will  
then couldnt they also get into your mail servers? Wouldnt anything  
that would be discussed in your meeting generate followups in a email?
