Lesson for students in filmmaking: don't have people who are presenting NOT look at the camera.. makes him looks like he's not talking to the viewer..

Anyway.. that some scary stuff cortana has access to.. I'm really disliking this probing into our personal lives.. your phone now knows who your sister is.. makes popups when you are in a certain place.. and knows your friends wifi password by only being connected to facebook, outlook or skype.. you don't even have to ask them anymore..

I didn't understand that bit.... he does seem to suggest that in the video but it doesn't make sense.

He's combining different features into a single idea incorrectly.

Google started doing this wifi quick access thing awhile ago. I never use it, but apparently you can get quick access and allow quick access to yoru wifi password for known friends.

I am not sure if iOS has it but apparently MS will do it too soon.

To do that surely involves putting your wifi password onto some kind of "secure" system on FB/Google etc.

Any chance Google started this "service" after they were caught data mining with Street View cars?
