is it true...?

GeoTube:
just saying that programs have a darker side... even ones you don't expect.

madmak:
Spyware is a piece of code that tracks your activities and sends them back to the creator so that the info can be used for malicious purposes. Just because a software tracks something doesnt mean it is spyware.
 
Examples
Realplayer has list of all recently viewed files
Firefox keeps browser history and allows cookies
Adobe PDF reader has a list of recently opened files
 
just because you hate something doesnt mean that you post hearsay information which you dont really have a clue about

Of course, but the utterly rediculous post by GeoTube reminds me of this one.

These kind of claims make the real and valid claims look like fiction, while they aren't.
