Dirty old men and web teens ...

Evidently Outlook doesn't mind if you contact those pretty young girls, looks like it is even encouraging it here? This is what comes up when I close an Outlook account after reading my email. An invitation to start a Skype conversation with a cute blonde. 

Parents everywhere are frightened out of their wits about their children being preyed upon by web stalkers. So what is this all about? Don't ask me, ask Microsoft, they're the ones who changed Hotmail into Outlook. Now they want to connect your Twitter account to Outlook. And any or all of your other social media accounts.

Makes you wonder why, doesn't it?

Here's why? Because the powers behind the scenes want to track you better, so connecting your Twitter etc. with your Outlook accounts, makes it a little easier for cross-referencing. And the more people on Skype, allows the NSA et al, to use PRISM's facial recognition software to add YOU into their database. In that secret huge new center in Utah. Now you know why Microsoft bought Skype for 8.5 billion when there were no other bidders, and ..... here's the big one, who installed the rogue code of spyware onto it almost immediately.


But are they using young blondes as bait-girls? Hmm, you decide exactly what is being encouraged here.

Send Tweets from the People pane when you connect your Twitter account to Outlook.com.

Connect your accounts

. . . So you can coordinate and contact a girl on Skype and perhaps see her, write on her Facebook wall, message her on Twitter, there's even a pop-up dialogue box inviting her to the beach with you! You get her personal email address and even her Seattle home town with zip code! 
Scary, huh?

Or maybe it's just the NSA wanting to see if you're a dirty old man?

Microsoft buys Skype

What is Skype? This is what Skype says about itself - - - Skype is for doing things together, whenever you’re apart. Skype’s text, voice and video make it simple to share experiences with the people that matter to you, wherever they are. - - -
Skype has a free download version.

So what you can do, is get a phone number of your friend, wherever they are, then you start the program, click stuff and contact your friend. They can be across town, in Florida, or Nairobi and you suddenly can text talk, voice talk and SEE them live and in living colour!
Wonderful program for Grandmas contacting their grandchildren, or offices doing impromptu sessions about their contracts, or anyone else who wants a live contact look.

So here we go again with my slant on it. First you might want to review some of my previous posts about Microsoft, and the reasons I believe they are beholden to the CIA, NSA or Homeland Security. Once you digest that, you'll either go away shaking your head or begin to realize the same things that these watcher agencies would love: an in with Skype.

It is believed that Microsoft may include Skype with Windows 8.
Having it built into their operating system means they can tinker however they like with the intricacies of the program, meaning what it does and how it does it. Perhaps even when it does it.
Imagine Skype being controlled or reporting to 'someone' what it sees from the top of YOUR computer? A spy master's treasure trove. An intrepid innovation.

Lends another aspect to big brother watching you, doesn't it? Who needs a satellite looking down at you and seeing your rooftop when the watcher can be right inside your house!
Hmm.

Yikes.

UPDATE: Was I right or was I right? Today, May 27, it was just announced that a recent 'glitch' on Skype has been fixed! And even though you have not been able to use it for a few days, you can now download the updated 'fixed' software version and get right back on!
Skype blames overloaded 'supernodes' for the failures, and says they are fixing them, trying to reassure you that hackers were not responsible for the downtime. Right, always blame hackers. Concentrate your attention on the imagined bad guys so you don't notice the real bad guys at work.

Is this a suspicion confirmed? So Microsoft buys Skype, shuts it down while they and/or the US Government Sneak Department installs new spyware, then you load the update that could make your webcam record you in your home without turning on your little light.
Wonderful.

Will we need to turn off the lights and whisper within our own homes soon? Will this KGB like intrusion become the Stasi or the Tonton Macoutes one day?
We need to go back to the woodshed days when we had a place to talk privately. Or Tony Soprano's basement.

Meanwhile, they're saying the Skype system is a little slow right now. Could that be because it is classifying and organizing the 25 million subscribers at the moment? Perhaps with face recognition software after taking all your pictures?

Paranoid? You tell me.
