So your thoughts on Google's new "Always listening" voice recognition on the new Motarola phone? Sounds kinda suspicious, it's bad enough that they listen to our phone-calls and messages.
There is plenty of rumours connecting Google to the NSA and in extension to the whole US spying program to begin with. As for your question, sorry to be the barer of bad news, anything with a speaker/microphone registers all sounds in its range. All that is needed is some reprogramming and a medium to store the data on the spot or some kind of infrastructure for them to be transmitted and stored elsewhere. So even your beeping microwave can be turned into a surveillance device provided you live in one of those "smart" homes.
