2AM.
I found three different sets of neighbors in range . Two of them had their Xbox Universals also connected to the Internet . ParanoidXbox loved that configuration : it could siphon off some of my neighbors ' Internet connections and use them to get online through the gaming network . The neighbors would never miss the packets : they were paying for flat-rate Internet connections , and they were n't exactly doing a lot of surfing at 2AM . The best part of all this is how it made me * feel * : in control . My technology was working for me , serving me , protecting me . It was n't spying on me .
