NE Patriots thwart eavesdropping rumors

Foxboro, MA -- The Miami Dolphins claim they had an edge in last week’s victory over the Patriots because they acquired game film that included audio of Tom Brady making calls at the line of scrimmage.

Brady responded Wednesday with another soundbite aimed directly at the eavesdropping Dolphins.

"I think that’s a big crock of you-know-what," Brady said. "I’m sure if you asked them, it probably sounds good for them to say they have it all figured out, but they’re 6-7 and we’re 9-4.

"Go tell me who probably has it more figured out."

The report surfaced Monday in the aftermath of Miami’s 21-0 win. Two players told the Palm Beach Post that they purchased the video including Brady’s audio, but Dolphins head coach Nick Saban said the team only used film from network feeds. (more)

SpyCam For Your Cell Phone

Spycam version 1.0
From Tech.Blog - "Arberg Spycam is a freeware spycam application for Nokia S60 2nd Edition mobile devices like 6600, 7650, etc that allows you to capture a photo from your mobile camera if any motion is detected and save it to your device. The application can save a maximum of 20 photos at a time after which it will start overwriting the older captured photos."

From the developer - "This program is only a prototype. It continusly (sic) takes photos and detect if there are any motion. If there is, the last picture is saved. Use the Photo application to see the saved photos. Max 20 files will be saved before the first one is overwritten again. Fell free to send me some bathroom spy photos ;-) "

From us - "Hidden cell phone can now eavesdrop and capture photos at will. Time to get to know us."

Yo... betta watch out!

Gumshoe Surveillance Trick #623

Department of Computer Science and Engineering, University of Washington - The Nike+iPod kit consists of a sensor which is placed in the sole of your left Nike+ shoe and a receiver which plugs into the bottom of the iPod Nano. The sensor in your shoe detects when you take steps (while walking or jogging) and transmits this information to the receiver.

When you walk or run the Nike+iPod sensor in your shoe will transmit messages using a wireless radio. These messages contain a unique identifier that can be detected from 60 feet away. This information is potentially private because it can reveal where you are, even when you'd prefer for a bad person to not know your location.

From Nike... Simply slip the Nike+ sensor into the Air Zoom Moire shoe pocket, or any other Nike+ Ready shoe, and head out. The Nike+ sensor slips unobtrusively into a pocket under the sockliner. Waterproof and virtually unbreakable. $29.00
