Who's your PC talking to? news.com Unfortunately, it just might be Bill, it seems. Worried that your boss is reading your email? Can't sleep at night knowing your medical records are flying around the global Internet? Well, add one more worry to the list: PC eavesdropping. Two U.K. scientists recently wrote that a clever amateur armed with $100 in electronics can detect every word on a targeted PC monitor by "listening in" on leaked radiation. They should know. The Cambridge University dons developed the technique while working on a way for Microsoft to covertly monitor illegal software useage. Well, sheesh, they already got the OS and IE in control of your computer, I don't know why they got to mess around with this stuff instead of just having the installed software shoot off an IP packet toward www.microsoft.com every so often. I guess they want a more 1984-ish air to the whole deal, to go with the "Windows is open" thing. Remember what Andy Grove said. . . Cheers, Dan.
