"control and manipulate... repulsive forces.."
Couldn't they just call them terrorists, like everybody else?

With Phorm in the UK & Nebuadd in the US planning to track people at the ISP's servers, I suspect it will become relatively common to install software that sits in the background & fires off random requests to any website it finds.
Whilst this will, as intended, swamp the data collected by these companys with noise, it will also eat up the available bandwidth & muck up any visitor analysis on websites.

The problem for radio microphones is that they are very low powered (200 - 300mW) & they run on batteries.
The proposed whitespace devices transmit at a far higher power & so will not 'hear' the radio mic if it is beyond it's reception range. The microphone's receiver will however hear the whitespace transmitter.
Because the microphones run from batteries they are switched on as late as possible to ensure they last through the performance. I.E. there is no signal to detect until the performance is about to start, far to late to reassign all the microphone channels.

This (second) site will trigger an alert from the Dephormation plugin: that the site uses Phorm for it's advertising.
The plugin, for those that have not got it yet, can be downloaded from

From experiments on expired bank cards, 3 seconds in a 650W oven will give visible blistering around the chip area. At 2 seconds the plastic cover will raise slightly but is not obvious.
I suspect that a contactless (RFID) card will absorb more energy & require less exposure to kill it but I haven't had a chance to play with one, yet.

They provide me with targeted adverts. So what, I block them.
They provide me with an anti phishing service. I already have one.
So for no benefit to me they ask me to trust that they don't store any of the data that passes through their servers. From what others have discovered about their activities in their previous incarnation I can see no good reason to do so.
