Why do you assume that non networked devices don't surveil you? Logging is all that's required, especially if said log can be stored in a place inaccessible to users.
This is the truth. All Kinect games involve an insane amount of luck because of the device's lack of accuracy. The only thing this device is good for is surveillance, so I assume that's what it's really for. Gamers need precise control, and the Kinect doesn't have it.
Are you tired of people being made to think about how to safeguard their freedom, coward? Here's a solution: you should leave Slashdot and never come back.
Perfect! I'll tell the family to pack up the tent.
Canned hash, I'm sorry I called you an AC. Stop cooling this room so efficiently, and people will stop making the mistake I'm sure.
Wow, mcgrew. You called me "kid," after the Gilligan's Island theme song "and the rest" joke?
How old are YOU, kid? 35?
I bit on the Jackson bros reference because I was trying to figure out what the AC who made the Matrix joke was talking about when he said "the Jackson brothers". I assume he means the two bros who directed the Matrix, whose names I don't remember but I often call "The V.I. Warshowski Brothers." Because it's more fun than learning what their names are. But why of all the names to go to, he chose "Jackson", that part I still don't get.
Anyway, back on topic, per your request. Holograms. Stop being one. I have! It's great. You guys are all look see-through to me now.
I agree that someone is embezzling, if taking a pointless research job and proving what you already know to be true while taking paychecks counts as embezzling. Some people call that a "jobs program". I call it Microsoft.
Right, coward...because EVERYTHING is an "us and them" issue. Let's not talk about the economic difficulty of funding proper research. Let's talk about your pet peeves instead.
This way, we can have the children use their own electronics and watch them doing it. If they break it, it's their parents who have to pay. Also, we can test the kids early and determine who is destined for a manual labor job. Skip ahead to manual labor training for those kids. They don't need tablets, or telescreens either. What do you think, comrades?
Oligonicella & VortexCortex, you've just provided a laundry list of the challenges that the developers of this app are probably already aware of.
I suspect that this will be a useful tool in creating an overall public contentedness index which will in turn allow those in power to make certain that the rabble aren't getting roused at any given point in time. Part of the "Manage the humans" SPOG we're all helping to create.:) Yay!
The differences between the sexes thing is interesting, but of questionable value, since no individual humans are absolutely feminine or masculine.
Funny story. I was there, and I stole all of the episodes. Some of them are missing the sound and picture, but other than that, they are perfectly intact.
Marco Polo is not missing "some episodes". All episodes of Marco Polo are missing. Judging from the quality of the script, the critical reviews, and the extant production stills, this is probably the greatest "missing" Doctor Who story.
You whipper snappers, get your Doctor Who stuff right.
Slashdot Mirror
Yes, like I said, useless for gaming.

Kuchera sucks. Got it. Polygon sucks. Check. What about the actual article topic?

1952 called, wants its news back.
HURRAH!
Let's ask ourselves: What would Ivan the Terrible do?

The rest? Really? So, the Jackson bros are Michael, Tito, the Professor, and Mary Ann? Got it. Thanks!
Obviously, you've never met Automan.
I'll bite. Who are the Jackson brothers?
Are you offering me a job doing what you do, coward?
Anyone?

But then what would we fight about here?

I think this is a great place to discuss how wonderful Steam is, and how it never causes anyone any problems ever.

I am tired of seeing this obvious truth treated as trolling. It's not trolling. Mod up, please.
This is what will drive the future legislation to eliminate all hair in order to protect Hollywood and save us from perverts and terrists.
