So if you're interested in this stuff, you might as well go out and get one of the MS drives or other first-gen drives, because I suspect the hacking possibilities may decrease over time; it's going to be these early drives which are the most hackable.
I'll buy one now in the hopes of selling it in a few years, when people will probably be willing to pay for a moddable drive.
Who needs memory cards when there is: http://media.tinypic.com/new/--an endless flood of free, random pics of all varieties. People think they're "just posting it to my blog that no one sees," but really everyone can see it.
So if you are being surveyed you can think of yourself as lucky.
You're saying that we should be happy with having my public movements tracked by the government?
You, sir, are a dumbass. Thinking like that is what will eventually make the UK, U.S., and other once-half-free countries into fascist nations. The government just loves it when the citizenry goes along with their latest and greatest draconian measures.
Just wait. Eventually the Federal government will force Qwest to "participate" in the NSA program. One way or another, all telecoms will have to send all their data to D.C. If the Federal government can force ISPs to retain their logs indefinitely, they sure as hell can force Qwest to send its data to the NSA.

Is a radio station good enough?
;)
If so, AM540 WFLA is the one for you.
If not, well, I tried.
Pfft. You read articles and summaries?
You must be knew here.
I know, I know. You said may, not will.
I'll go with you, just so long as we make a video of it like these guys did when they dug up E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial for the 2600. ;)
If the PowerBook became the MacBook Pro, what's the Power Mac going to become?
Mac Mac Pro?
My point, though, was that switching wouldn't do much benefit in the long run, as they'd eventually be forced to comply. =/

And in other news, Sony weighs in on which next-gen video game console people should buy. More at 11.
And I deal with it by calling it the Revolution.
Do they have to drink to stay sober? ;)
