It wouldn't be so bad if EVERYBODY in the U.S. had a fair shot at the data collected, and to collect it on EVERYBODY from bottom to top, NO exceptions.
That could actually be interesting. Then I wonder who would be squirming.
Yes, except the government and most large businesses will make it off-limits to wear the glasses on their premises, making it, in effect, a one-way data stream-- about you, to them. So it isn't really like it's leveling the playing field. Sure, there will be the odd case here and there where someone catches a government worker or a corporate CEO doing something they shouldn't oughta, but most of the time, it will be them, watching you. And to top it off, they're gonna show you some pretty pictures, a game, give you directions and maybe show you a porno-- and you're going to be paying THEM for the privilege of them getting to watch you. And you wondered why they were hiring all those PhD types...
You got it in one. I think somehow the notion of "All Google, All the Time" just sort of grates on people. I know there are times that I wish Google would take a long walk off a short pier-- and I *like* Google. They're just too nosy and pushy and pervasive-- sometimes I just want a BREAK from Google and it just seems like they go out of their way to not take the hint.

So let's write in NONE-OF-THE-FUCKING-ABOVE and then whatever slob has changed his name to that for a freakin joke will WIN.
It can't POSSIBLY be any worse than the SHIT we already have.
No, we do NOT have a TWO PARTY system. That's what's FUCKING WRONG with this country.
We have a TWO-PARTY SEWER CLOG.
And all the damn plumbers keep voting to do nothing about it instead of calling ROTO-ROOTER and DRAINING the fucking SWAMP.
The "Obama-Care" which was so incredibly REPUBLICAN to start with.
Irony of Ironies.
Yes, and I'm one of them.

So did Jr and Little-Dicked Cheney
Well, I reckon it depends on who is signing those paychecks.
(Hint: It ain't you or me)
More like Undersight.
Absolutely agreed.
Ain't it time to just clean the fucking house already? Just kick all the sob's out and put brand new ones in there.
If they're in, vote 'em OUT.
Oh Puleeze. You Repukes pushed this shit through under the Bushit Abomination.
Obama may not be much better, but let's at least call a spade a spade.
Why couldn't they use those other kind of computers?
You know, the ones they use to compute their profits..??
Its the Scientologists and Republicans though that worry me. They both got Ray Guns.
Amen to that.
Simple, they re-up the patent extension on the printing press and hire a gaggle of submarine shysters and start knocking on doors...
Not to mention automatically OCR every book ever written... some Project Gutenberg sneakiness...? You be the judge.
They should NOT pardon him for his "outstanding achievements". They should pardon him simply because its the right thing to do.
How is this any different than the video showing the Taliban executing people in a soccer field?
"Are you Sarah Connor?"
"Yes..."
"Uh... I forgot why I'm here."
YES, he does.
Welcome to the future, ain't it grand??

A competent programmer could do this with an abacus or a slide-rule.
I was expecting the CDC to pull this stunt, but the IRS?
So what, they're the IRS.
Why did they bother?
They already record every phone call, every email, every tweet, every text in America. All they had to do was roll back through their own logs.
