I used to think stuff like this was of the tinfoil hat side, but the more I learn about the 'Internet of Things' that many large companies are putting more and more effort towards, the more important I think knowing how to protect yourself from this crap becomes.
Google, Microsoft, Cisco, Oracle, Samsung, IBM, ARM, Intel, GE, and the list goes on. Each one of those is putting billion dollar efforts into a world were everything in your house and the outside world is connected together and can channel information about each and every one of us back to their corporate masters.
This isn't fiction or a conspiracy, it is fact happily proclaimed openly by these companies. Tricks like the ones in this article and security measures like Tor are the only defenses that the common person will have in this dystopian near future world.
