    Uh, yeah. You register your computer/software, then Caller ID hooks into that. Nothing magic or malicious.

    No. It's only you. They've detected an inordinate number of threads started by you on AI and you are now on the Apple Shitlist. Watch out!

    Ooooh that is really STRANGE you must be in their MATRIX !!!





    I don't think they have a system that uses caller ID to go to a database to get your name. When I have called I had to give my name and address many times at least, to the best of my recollection, it was a while ago.

    Sigh. Do I play along? Oh, what the hell.



    AppleInsider.



    No, but I know more than you think I do. Not neccessearily about the things you'd expect, though.



    And with that, we have a derailment ... by me!



    Hmmm.

    Ooooooooh AI, for a minute there I thought you were referring to Apple / Intel.



    But actually I was NOT referring to the locking of threads when I started THIS thread, those were all dead anyway.

    Don't you thing a lot of important people do important work on their computers ???



    If you could get that information you could RULE THE WORLD !!!



    And who might want that MORE than super EGOs like Billy G. and Stevey J. !??!?!



    They are both in the perfect position to spy on their customers well accept Windows has been under so much scrutiny by everyone and programmers. If they tried to collect too much information they would get caught.



    Although they have long said publicly that they DO collect user information, but don't worry its only about how their apps are used.



    The marketing director at one company I worked for before the internet was public said that MS would pay if we collect THEIR information and shipped it to them !!!



    Don't you remember ogrady.com being taken to court by Apple ???



    He later said that his whole family was being attacked by Apple, business problems and other things.





    You know its a LIBERAL CONSPIRACY !!!



    Steve Jobs is very liberal and so the many liberals in the computer world want him to take over so instead of admitting it could be a problem they let him get away with it !!!!!!

    I was taking out the trash the other day and I opened up the recycling bin and guess who was in there? mother-fscking steve wozniak, I said "hey! but you don't work for apple anymore" and then he shot me with a tranq dart. The rest is kind of a blur, but I distinctly remember hearing something about the iTablet and a dual core powerbook g5.

    SEE, this is exactly what I am talking about, well this and what happened to Ogrady !!!



    You must be working on some very important government military project now, either that or the WOZ just hates you for some reason, when they get senile they get WEIRD !!!



    Its actually also very likely that their employees are doing the spying and it NOT the top brass. Of course their top programmers and other friends in the company are in perfect positions to slip in spy code here and there !!!



    ARE YOU MAKING FUN OF MY THREAD JUST TO COVER UP YOUR EVIL LIBERAL CONSPIRACY !!!



    Notice I was not getting much traffic at all but then I mention LIBERAL CONSPIRACY and all these joking, RIDICULING posts show up.



    You know I would like to go to Bill Clinton talks and protest the BC, but I know ALL of liberals there would ATTACK ME !!!



    You see ALL conservatives UNDERSTAND that MOST liberals are violent. AND most liberals UNDERSTAND that most conservatives are NOT VIOLENT, that is WHY they go to protest Georgy B. and that is WHY they get carried away by the police -- AS THEY SHOULD !!!

    ... and with that, another useless thread comes to an end.



    Apple may not be spying on you, but I am.
