Do you seriously think the goal of this is simply for marketing purposes and tailor ads for you? Of course, there's a lot of money there but that's a convenient side-effect.
Today, Chief Johnson admitted officers accessed this private data without appropriate motives. Chief Johnson has promised it won't happen again, now here's Tom with the weather.
This is likely to get banned in short order on privacy grounds alone. Even if all processing was done inside the TV (looking for eyeballs),
the fact that any data gleaned would have to be sent upstream to be useful should be enough to get this technology blocked.
If not, I predict a bump in sales of black electrical tape as soon as these hit the market.
That's cute. No, it won't be "blocked". I can easily imagine such technology eventually becoming mandatory because it's the only sure way to see if terrorists are plotting against the nation. It will be followed by another best way to fight terrorism, and so on so forth, like a boot stomping a human face, over and over again.
I won't buy this game until I've tried the demo, see if it works with my Voodoo 3 (yeah I know, I should've stayed with the v2). I check jumbo.com and Games Domain every freaking day to see if it's out yet.
The Palestinians toss plenty of rockets? You mean like that video Israel released as part of a propaganda campaign that was obviously CG? Or are there more out there?
I don't think finding a legit buyer would've been so hard... there are people out there with lots of money that would jump on the occasion to own a piece of the Moon, one-upping their friend's diamond encrusted hummer and the other guy's collection of Queen Victoria's used panties.
My thoughts exactly... if anyone out there really considers a piece of rock (whatever its impressive origins) to be worth more than a 2 figure sum, at most, deserves to be ripped off. An important life lesson would've been learned: don't pay 1.7 million for a rock.

No shit... and if you're gonna deface a TV station, why not go after FOX instead of PBS?

Most people would say "I have nothing to hide". Of course you have nothing to hide, you've been put in a glass cage!
I'm pretty sure most people reading 1984 see it as an invasive, all-controlling, psychopatic totalitarian govermnent... not just telescreens.
I am ready to start up new fetishes if my home becomes surveilled like this.

If you watch this video, though, you get a completely different perspective on the situation in America: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vw4KVoEVcr0
The fact that we've gotten used to it doesn't change that it's unacceptable and deserves serious attention.
Yep, America is one of the very few places where you can say anything you want, yet have no say at the same time.
Right, because there's no way they'd lie about their numbers...?

What is anti-freemasonry?
Because pre-orders were made on this game over a decade ago, which doesn't happen that often. Thank god!

Even if the other side is in the middle of carrying out a genocide on a population they're illegally occupying?
Sounds like we got a free-thinker on our hands, boys! You know what you have to do.
"Anti-semitism", the one-size-fits-all solution that cleans all dirty misguided thoughts regarding the sacred promised land! GTFO.
Thanks for enlightening me, I was totally serious.
Not according to the market.
Just nuke the damn moon and let's get done with it.
Doesn't change the fact that only an idiot would pay so much for a rock.
