, there is their new software for the new Makerbot called Makerware. Guess what, I downloaded and installed it -- just to take a look at it (it does not run with Cupcake CNC) and it turned out it's spyware! I used the filemon from Winternals to check: Makerbot software does recursive scan of all files on your harddrive! And it does it not only when it's run, it somehow runs all the time when the computer is on. I noticed it due to unusual harddisk activity and then found out which application was responsible with filemon. It runs some python script that does it and if you try to terminate it in task manager it relaunches itself.

Recursive scan allows you to scan through a directory and it's subdirectories.

nice! I think that program will be able to print money based on information found on a computer. BUT what that going to print if find porno.....
This causes a large hang for me when I launch the software. This is because it is recursively scanning my network mapped drive, which is obviously slow to complete.
I have a digitiser on my desk, and i've noticed that sometimes it begins to covertly scan my face. But as soon as i look directly at it, it stops.

do you think this is the spyware, spying?
I'm not into conspiracies and whatnaught, but I'll throw a bone to the dogs;
Maybe that's why they charge so much and brag about their standard specs like it's high tech?
