The end of the world is nigh
« on: September 21, 2010, 07:55:42 AM »
We are being provided with new laptops at work ...calm down this is hardly going to mean cutting edge technology just an improvement in performance etc.

However one of the things they have ensured is that these laptops have webcams  shocked003

I frickin hate webcams  evil:

I presume that also means I have to get dressed now when working from home  Banghead Banghead Banghead

1st thing I'm gonna do when I get my upgrade is bash my webcam in  whistle:

The feckers can hack into military and government security systems 'for a larf'...

The other new feature is that once you log on and you've opened Outlook ...it can tell if you are 'actively' using this or how long you have been 'idle'
