Who Owns Your Cell Phone?


There's an interesting story today about corporate monitoring of cell phones (and home phones) of veteran boardmembers by the chairwoman of HP. Evidently a report about who leaked what in the days before Carly Fiorina's ousting is based on cell phone calls made by some of the board's directors. "All legal and proper," says HP. One director quit (to go work on building his yacht); another refused. If you feel like someone's looking (listening) over your shoulder, you might be right.

And, btw -- do you yell over to the guy at the next pump to get off his cell phone so he doesn't blow everyone up?
