Ticket Bots

Once again this topic is back in the news.

Ticket touts face unlimited fines for using 'bots' to buy in bulk - Guardian/Observer 10 March 2017

I reviewed ticketbots.net  on my website some time back and got a bit of email from the software vendors telling me that I had written a "false review" about their software. Their complaint was that I was claiming that they were marketing it through less that straight-forward methods, not that the software did not work! However, that aside it seems that the use of such software has been noticed by others and something is now being done about it.

At the time of my original investigations I was not supporting the use of such software. Quite the contrary, I was wondering why there was not more of an outcry about its use. Quite frankly I think that it makes a nonsense out of ordering tickets for events on-line and I would be very wary in doing so myself.

"Fake On"

I guess that the "Fake On" that was developed by the CIA and MI5 for a specific Samsung SmartTV was part of the notion that all devices will be connected to the Internet some day?

Connected devices

I would be interested to know what the actual statistics are for homes that have domestic devices connected to the Internet. Sure, there are millions of computers and phones doing so, but I doubt if there is a significant number of IP connected devices other than those.

If you read the hype put out by "security" firms about the dangers of your fridge or toast "spying" on you, then you could possibly think that there is a problem.

Why I am not a terrorist

or even suspected as one by anyone.

I am white and was born in England and I have a Anglo-Saxon name.

There is nothing in my profile to trigger any suspicions by Law Enforcement agencies. That is because there is nothing that could be seen as suspicious. I am not known to the police and there is no reason for there to be. I may have posted about security issues, but that is a concerned and interested citizen who observes the plight of those charged with protecting people such as myself.

Fine Tuned Machine!

and he had a great time!

at his "news" conference, that is.
