Great idea! I'm going to pay 500$ per pair of 3D glasses I'll need... one for television, one per movie theater chain (not likely to use the same model, are they?), one per game console, one for the PC...
Why do I hate 3D glasses? Because I'm near sighted and had to wear glasses every day of my life... now watching movies or television is going to require a SECOND pair on top of the first one? Go to hell, hollywood, for making my everyday life even more impractical than it already is.
... or you could just use the security footage, and corroborate this fact with the handfuls of security orange dye on the suspect's hands? Your method is starting to turn into a logical puzzle for the sunday paper crossword section.
What about sociopathic personalities unable to feel guilt? You might let go a serial killer who is working toward a triple digit kill count because he doesn't feel it's wrong.
Even if you disagree with the show format, you can hardly dispute the fact that they seeded the ground with actual C4 and blew it up with a few dozen yards of a golf cup with a precariously perched golf ball. And it held firmly in place.
Turns out they already tested the C4 explosion pushing the golf ball down the cup. The explosion neither provided the onscreen fireball or the ground shaking required to push the ball down. Myth busted!
Again, no argument. What Microsoft needs, and badly, is a Jobs-like figure who can take the company from a knee-jerk response style to an industry leading innovator. Until MS can reinvent its image to be hip, they will be stuck as "those guys who keep re-releasing Office every year".
Clearly a correct assessment, however Apple already HAS defined this one. Only a brand new innovation and not a year late catch-up will pull them ahead of the market defining product.
To counter the arguement "If you've done nothing wrong, you've got nothing to hide", I have done nothing wrong and I simply would like to continue to have my privacy that is part of my civil liberties. Just because someone does no wrong doesn't mean they wish to be an open book.
Not to mention that once there's nothing LEFT to prosecute in order to distract the populace away from unpopular social issues (like pollution, unemployment and crime), who knows WHAT will be made retroactively illegal or immoral and subject to reprimand? It may well be that in the not-too-far future, playing things with an open book may come to be interpreted as a preemptive confession of not-quite-criminal-yet activity.
THIS is how you handle an issue. You don't wait for a 50,000 posts 1600 pages long thread of disgruntled customers swearing they will never play your game again to form, only to tell people later that you've got "exciting new changes coming in the future" in the same breath as announcing that the unilateral change is getting overturned.

Smart money says this is a sting operation to bag hackers who are a bit too keen to use their tech savvy to spy on their neighbours!
Even Doctor Evil keeps it down to a reasonable 100 billion.
If Pacman had affected us as kids we'd be running around in dark rooms, munching magic pills and listening to repetitive music.
You mean going to raves? Oh wait, we do.
Exactly HOW do you "poison a Wii"?

The more you explain how this works, the less relevant it sounds in being used as a crime-detection device.
It's just like Thunderdome - except two man enter, one man may or may not leave.

Are universities really turning into their counterparts from Revenge of the Nerds, Animal House or a Rodney Dangerfield movie? You decide...
It's the internet. Ten years from now they'll still be posted somewhere.

*gasp* "It's old man copyright troll, the guy who runs the haunted bittorrent tracker site!"
"And I would have gotten away with it, if it wasn't for you meddling kids!"

The last thing Ballmer needs is a rushed, maligned and badly engineered Zunepad initial product release.
Nothing Blizzard has ever released will match the video card melting power of unleashing a full raid's worth of AoE on Onyxia's whelps...

And if you read even more carefully, you learn that these were MADE by a group called "The Ninjas". Not "the ninjas and the pirates".
Pirates have a long way to go if they want to match this sheer level of awesome.
But does it replicate the searing neck pains and retinal burns?
