School used student laptop webcams to spy on them at school and home
According to the filings in Blake J Robbins v Lower Merion School District (PA) et al, the laptops issued to high-school students in the well-heeled Philly suburb have webcams that can be covertly activated by the schools’ administrators, who have used this facility to spy on students and even their families. The issue came to light when the Robbins’s child was disciplined for “improper behavior in his home” and the Vice Principal used a photo taken by the webcam as evidence. The suit is a class action, brought on behalf of all students issued with these machines.
Im ersten Moment dachte ich an die Schule von Markus aus “little Brother” von Cory Doctorow, bis ich dann letztendlich sah, dass der Artikel von Ihm ist ;) — ist aber wohl wahr, traurig und erschreckend!

I was looking to buy a laptop computer desk for the refurbished laptop computer in my home but I’m realizing that I can get significantly cheaper prices online instead of driving down to my local Office Depot, in many instances 50%-70% cheaper. The only bad thing is that I have to wait a few days to get it sent to me.
