A good and logical counter-argument. I respond with this. What about a non-google solution? Something you have much more total control of the data that flows in and out of it. Is it ok if i do face-matching on my own hardware to build a better picture of who i come near day-to-day? Can i share the data? Aggregate it? Anonymize it? Where are the lines?
You do know that every patron in almost EVERY place you eat is ALREADY being videoed, right? Surveillance is ubiquitous and NOW you want to complain because individuals wish to engage in something business has been doing for literally decades?
Google Glass is merely the consumer facing aspect of wearable computing. $1500 would go a LONG way in hiding several cameras on my person, including head, in such a way that you would never know. Anyone really into wearables can go much farther than google glass pretty trivially.
As long as you ALSO apply this to all sports, dangerous activities like rock climbing or skydiving etc. Fatty foods, salt, anything spicy....you see where im going with this. Be well!
As much as I want the world to be full of telepaths with perfect knowledge exchange among rational minds, it cannot be. Information that affects people comes with responsibilities. Context is incredibly important to ensure physical harm can be minimized by the release of info.
Because we are supposed to be a nation of morals above money. We send our young men into harm's way for ideals. Have we forgotten those ideals? How much pragmatism can the American Spirit endure......
I dont think the NSA should be spying so extensively on foreign countries. You thinking its a-ok is pretty fucking barbaric. Its one thing to spy on another government, its quite another to spy on entire nation's citizens. The NSA has exceeded its mandate and any moral bound and needs to be stopped now.
Define excessive. some people would find a pound of cannabis excessive, even though its not an abnormally large amount of plant material at all. You could easily go through pounds of it making extracts and such.
The law of the jungle exists whether or not an invisible sky-man does. These so-called 'creator' granted rights are rights that every man is granted at birth by the rules of the jungle. We use the law of man to soften the edges of the law of the jungle so we can all live in peace.
If this is all you can say on this subject then perhaps you should be silent in deference to the people who actually know this is the culmination of a long term plan. We are now discussing that long term plan.
" before I'll consider doing anything like online banking on them."
Security is not really an issue here. Everything is insured and protected from fraud. Banking relies on trust WAY more than it does technology.
Great, too bad its ecosystem is dead. There is simply no apps. I went on the windows store on my 8.1 tablet. No Pandora, no banking app, no anything pretty much. I think the nokia phones are nice, but they are hamstrung by their shitty ecosystem.
They dont even have 95% of DESKTOP computers anymore let alone anywhere near that number for total computers. Every Android/iOS device is another computer against MS's count. MS is shrinking and in doing so their relative power shrinks exponentially. MS's only strength is their monopoly and its dying.
The true costs of trustable networking are starting to become much clearer. In the past we relied on the trust that the government wasn't actively fucking everyone. Its the exact opposite of a party, it's quite sobering the reality of what we must do to interfere with the spying machine and hold trust in our networks.
I dont want to live in a world where the default is for art to be locked and expect payment from up to 7 billion other humans, its absurd.. I dont think its right to give explicit control over monetization and venue to content creators. ITs used to create artificial markets and drive up prices. I would like to see more FRAND-style doctrines. I think there should be very firm controls linking production cost to monetization when it comes to government granted IP monopolies. IP is a SOCIAL BARGAIN and we need to re-balance the equation. I think once you have reached a certain monetization threshold, your IP should weaken.

This really is the worst counter-argument ever..... There is no barrier to posting it online.

Good luck with that. You lost this fight decades ago when CCTV was installed publicly and privately.

We are shocked by the incredibly broad scope. We are shocked by the brazen 'Yes we are spying on all of you, what are you going to do about it?'.

And seatbelt laws are as Liberty infringing today as they were back then.
I love shopping amazon at 7 pm and it is telling me 'hey you want this tomorrow?'

The way its worded may be, the way its gets applies will not be.

You are very wrong. That is not Liberty, its Tyranny. The 4th EXPLICITLY prohibits this sort of behavior.
I thought they were one and the same. What the fuck is the point of Modern UI then? Why would they be different? Holy shit MS marketing is the worst.

Hard to take the report seriously with glaring errors like this "Spetember 2006" "
You shouldnt play games on anything that serves other clients 24/7. Games are flaky as hell. I even run my whole-house DVR headless.
