Microsoft Gadget Keeps Record of Your Life

An anonymous reader writes "SenseCam, touted as a visual diary of sorts by Microsoft Corp., is designed to be worn around the neck and take up to 2,000 images a 12-hour day automatically. The prototype responds to changes such as bright lights and sudden movements and might one day even respond to other stimuli such as heart rate or skin temperature -- to track medical problems as easily as to record a Hawaiian vacation."

    So it's from MS, big deal
    It is a big deal to some. While I may use their OS from time to time, I would never use any of their "personal" products. Why in the world would I trust my personal information to some closed source application made by a proprietary company? What is to stop MS from having my personal data sent to their servers for "annonymous" collection for stats? It may sound paranoid, however this is ones personal information, and should not be trusted to a company that has shown such low ethics as MS has over the years.
