A number of suspicious women in the Gulf state of Qatar are spying on their husbands by using readily available hi-tech devices.
The women are trapping their husbands by handing spy devices, like miniature cameras fitted in pens and cigarette lighters, as gifts, The Peninsula newspaper reported.
Some wives who are not able to make their husbands accept such gifts slyly place the devices in their cars, the report said.
The paper said that it interviewed “a number of women who said their friends or colleagues admitted to spying or having spied on their husbands as they suspected they were cheating on them.” (more) (eBay Spy Central) (sing-a-long)
ELECTRONIC EAVESDROPPING AND WIRETAPPING:
How 20th Century Technology Can Cause 21st Century Headaches for You and Your Client
by John H. Case, Gilbert B. Feibleman and Mark Gruber
“In a day and age where everyone can go to Radio Shack and purchase their own miniaturized microphone, recording device and spy camera it has become abundantly clear that every spouse is a potential James Bond. It is not uncommon to be asked by your client: “Can I record secretly conversations with my spouse?” Unfortunately it is more common that the family law practitioner is merely told about recordings long after they have been made or even after they have been republished.

Q. I’m a boss who tricked my workers into adding me as Xbox Live friends. How can I spy on them when they’re “working” from home to make sure they’re not playing Xbox?
A. One of the great features of the Xbox and its online service is the integration with the xbox.com website. It lets you easily see all your Xbox friends. It can be abused by mean bosses to quickly, in table form, see the last time the friends were on XBOX and what they were doing.
Just perform the following:
Go to www.xbox.com and select “Sign In” in the top right of the xbox.com site.
• Sign in with the Live ID associated with your XBox Live ID.
• Click on your own profile.
• Select View All Friends under Friends.
You can see who’s online, who’s offline, when they were last online, and what everyone is or was doing. (more)
The down side of social not-working…

The issue affects tens of millions of Facebook app users, including people who set their profiles to Facebook’s strictest privacy settings. (more)
