True, but: there are many out there that are computer illiterate, especially parents of children that have laptops and computers for school work, games, music, etc. Sad, but the cyber world has way too many wierdo's and pervs out there. Been several years; but remember the young teenager that met a man online, and was found in a storage locker? Countless other situations like this happen all the time. Parents should keep an eye on their children's use of computers, and monitor who they are talking to, chatting with, and sending pics to. I don't have a web cam; don't see a reason to have one. No one I wanna see, and no one wants to see me in my BVD's playing Baldur's Gate, Call of Duty, or Risk II! At least I hope not!

Hardly news, people have been able to control UNPROTECTED computers for awhile now, why would anyone think that wouldn't include your web cam.
