Beware!! You are being watched

We often see gadgets in the spy movies, specially the James Bond's 007 - and take these as gimmicks and film-only gadgets. But in reality, those gadgets are just one of the crude forms of unaccountable such gadgets produced each year to help the agents and spies who roam freely in streets and markets around us.

Did you notice the guy wearing a golf cap the other day and you thought he looked a bit suspicious? Was he wearing a cap like this:

Now look at the cap and see he had a tiny camera hidden in his cap - you failed to observe. Well this is just one spy gadget that you came across. There are many many more being used to spy on subjects unnoticed.

And this man at the party, immaculately dressed with a smart pen in his jacket front pocket. He was taking picture and even making videos of people around him unknown to all of us. Or the gentleman you thought was a businessman from Dubai - but had a camera embeded in his necktie, taking clear pictures of everyone he conversed with.

And at the shopping center, while making your bill, the shop keeper had a clear view of you and had you well within his capture reach while adding up your merchandise.

Well this is not all - read my post at Hobby Shobbys with many more such like gadgets spies make use of while we remain oblivious of their nefarious activities.

No one knows for sure whether Apple is towing this futuristic line or not for its new iPhone 5, but if it does, there may be a paramount shift of Android lovers to iPhone 5.

What else one would like in iPhone 5? Why not list your wish list and talk about it on the net - may be some Apple engineer gets hold of your idea and incorporates into the new iPhone 5.

This hardware breakthrough enables even the most sluggish connections to carry HD quality signals efficiently and easily without compromising its quality.
