Patricia, thank you for your comments.  I had never thought of EMR awareness causing one to be an even more 'interesting' individual, but it makes sense.

I recently had a peculiar thing happen when using Skype. I was attempting a Skype video call with a young relative whose mother was helping to set up the call on their end.  Upon them answering the call a brief viewing of the youngster (in motion) appeared and then rapidly disappeared as Mom explained that she forget to plug in the external webcam.  I stated that I had briefly seen them on my computer screen without the webcam but that the video quickly disappeared. I was told that was not possible!

This leaves me wondering if we are being 'viewed' along all else we do on our computers?

1)  you do know about the NSA and such, hmm?  
you are not alone in the use of your computer. 
:)  and being aware of EMR might draw 
attention to you and your computer.  i was 
in a very 'interesting' situation in eugene oregon
that sounded very much like the descriptions of 
"targeted individual'.  

2)  i have found that my wired/ethernet
iMac does not turn on wifi by itself, but if i 
disconnect my macBookPro from ethernet, it 
starts searching for wifi.  

3)  yesterday, everything was quiet and i was 
not using my computer and i heard something 
similar to when a telephone is picked up - 
through the computer.  

4)  my computer cursor has often moved "of 
its own accord" for several years now.  seems a 
bit strange to me.  no hands, in fact some 
times i've been steering in the opposite direction
when it seems to take its own course...  usually 
down and to the left, as if i have a PC and it is 
going for the "start" (or is that "stop"?) button.  
:)  

we are not as alone as we think.  
love, patricia

Are you checking "save" after disabling the Wi-Fi?  I'm not familiar with Macs, but learned the hard way with Windows about the necessity of the "save".

I have a strange issue. I always have wi-fi turned off on my Mac.
Lately it's been turning itself on! I have the icon on the top of my screen and all of a sudden I look and it's activated.
I checked all my settings, requiring a password to turn wi-fi on and it's still doing it.
Kind of eerie
