samsung Smart Hub deletions

Glad to see nothing of real value was removed April 1st when Samsung ditched some if their features. I have a 8500 plasma and browsed all apps when I bought it, I was worried things like the You Tube, web browser and Amazon would disappear. All things considered the apps are nice but still blown away by what a TV is actually all about...picture quality.

All of the smart TVs are a security risk when attached to your network. I highly recommend you remove it from your network.

I Dont use voice or camera it stays docked and all voice and gesture settings are off. If somebody wants to hear me throw my dog a ball or hear about my wife's day at work have at it. I seldom randomly recite my bank account info or SS# out loud for no apparent reason but if I get that urge I'll do it outside with my foil hat on.
