Your headphones may have turned the tables on you, and are listening to you instead of the other way around……
A lawsuit filed in Chicago today alleges that BOSE may be using its ‘Bose Connect’ App to keep track of your listen habits, harvest that data, and then sells it to third parties for marketing purposes.
The complaint accuses BOSE of using this strategy with their QuietComfort 35, QuietControl 30, SoundLink Around-Ear Wireless Headphones II, SoundLink Color II, SoundSport Wireless, and SoundSport Pulse Wireless models.
The theme to the lawsuit revolves around invasion of privacy that could lead to profiling due to a person’s listening habits, especially when it comes to religious and political content. It goes as far as to suggest that this action by BOSE may be a violation of Federal Wire Tap laws.
For those of us who travel a lot, being able to block out the world around us is a critical goal during a flight. I never thought that I’d have to worry that the content on my headphones would become public domain information. Something a bit too ‘big brother’ about this one.
If you use the Bose Connect app, you might want to consider removing it from your devices.
More details can be found in the Reuters report.

After initially deploying wet-leased Sukhoi SSJ100 Superjets on several routes in Europe, Brussels Airlines has announced additional cities that will see the aircraft.
Beginning in June 2017 Bastia, Manchester, Stockholm (Bromma), and Strasbourg will have ‘SN’ flights operated by the SSJ100.
The SSJ100 is a short term solution as Brussels Airlines begins its phase-out of the Avro RJ100 ‘Jumbolino’ and begins to receive narrow body Airbus aircraft over the next several months as their replacement.

Lufthansa has taken delivery of their 3rd Airbus A350, D-AIXC, in Toulouse, France today. The aircraft is scheduled to be flown to Munich tomorrow where after a short period of fine tuning, will join ‘XA’ and ‘XB’ in daily service.
The delivery of the latest A350 makes it possible for Lufthansa to begin using the A350 on its Munich – Mumbai beginning on April 15. Ultimately 25 A350s will join the fleet and will be stationed between Frankfurt and Munich, as aircraft such as the A340 are phased out.
@LufthansaNews shared a few images from the official registration decals being applied to ‘XC’ earlier today:
