New Software Remembers Everything Your Computer Has Ever Displayed (cnn.com)
A Napster co-founder launched a new software this week which lets you search for anything you've ever looked at on your computer. schwit1 shared this report from CNNMoney:
Atlas Informatics Founder and CEO Jordan Ritter calls the software "a photographic memory for your digital life"... This includes web pages, emails, Slack chats, Netflix films, Spotify songs, or anything else that's appeared in front of your eyes on your screen... You can search by keyword, content type or time, and it displays all related information based on relevancy. For instance, if two documents were open at the same time and you toggled between them, they will both appear whether or not they contain a keyword. Once installed on your hard drive and browser, Atlas Recall runs in the background and begins collecting your activity. The company captures all the content you've looked at and stores it on its servers.
It's encrypted before transmission to the Atlas Cloud servers, though you can block it from capturing data from certain applications, files, and web sites. "The platform wars are over, nobody won, and no one will ever win them again..." Ritter told CNNMoney. "What we want is something that works the way we use our devices and data."

In case I ever become Secretary of State.
"Everything you've ever done on your computer, uploaded to someone else's servers. Huh, huh? "
"That's genius! What could possibly go wrong?"
That's actually a great idea! Then they would have to roll out broadband so their spying system would work.

Minimum threshold fixed. Thanks!

Recklessly? Blindly? I'm missing something here.
You have to admire their audacity, though. Why write viruses and trojans if you can just ask people to use your "service" voluntarily? And they actually do sign up for it! Absolutely brilliant idea.
