I thought this one was pretty cool...
"Li Zhuang, Feng Zhou, and Doug Tygar have an interesting new paper showing
that if you have an audio recording of somebody typing on an ordinary
computer keyboard for fifteen minutes or so, you can figure out everything
they typed. The idea is that different keys tend to make slightly different
sounds, and although you don't know in advance which keys make which
sounds, you can use machine learning to figure that out, assuming that the
person is mostly typing English text. (Presumably it would work for other
languages too.)"

Definitely cool. I bet the Feds had this years ago though, kind of like
those evm? things that pick up what you are viewing on your monitor
from a good distance.

Read the book 'Spycatcher' - they were doing it with manual
typewriters years ago when they were state of the art.

espionage..especially now in the tech age, where basically anyone can
invent new measures virtually..but as fascinating that is..it's also
equally if not moreso scary. Bon voyage privacy.
