Tell them to send proof of the act. In high def. then laugh at the silence.

The real question is how much dubious sexual activity do you do in front of your computer? Just joking, does it even have a webcam?

The Apple products that we own, iThings and Mac computers, have a little indicator light that shows whenever the camera is activated, so we can tell when it should be pointed in a safe direction.

Got a similar email. I'm thinking I'm going to have to start working out more, so I look better in my videos. Or get me a wide-angle lens for the camera.

Yeah, that's quite a blackmail scheme, because, as we all know, men masturbate very rarely, maybe once every decade. Or maybe once every seven years, like Spock, jonesin' for that Vulcan nookie...

I think that someone reported that 42 percent admitted to looking at internet porn. And the other 58 percent were lying.

It isn't anything dubious that you might be doing, it's tracking your everyday activity that might provide hackers details on your life.

The logistics don't work...the 'dubious' activity wouldn't likely be visible to the camera unless you made a point to get it in the frame. I know this from careful research.
