The "first" is certainly a dubious claim at best. http://www.michael-young.com/ has his USB bracelet design dated 2004 (under Product). http://www.charlesandmarie.com/ were selling the Michael Young designed bracelets for $14 for a couple of days before Christmas. I don't remember how much storage space they had.
I remember reading an article on something similar to this topic. I think it was about how computer animation looks 'creepy' when it becomes too life-like. Hence, perhaps, the dearth of photo-realistic computer animated movies.
I think we would find realistic-looking puppets quite frightening too.
This article was interesting to me because it reminded me of the sort of thought experiments I would conduct in my head when I was 11 or 12 while bored and waiting in a store for my mom or dad.
The references to Foucault were nothing you couldn't find in the comic-book-style Introducing Foucault (which also discusses how many high schools are designed similar prisons).
If you know anyone who's gone though a shoplifting 'phase' you'll know that the cameras aren't particularly useful in stopping them. All they have to do is be quick about it and the cameras are the least of their concerns. I think (one of) the primary uses of cameras in these cases is getting people to confess after they've been caught which is typically thanks to the diligence of ON-FOOT guards or the undercover type Wal-mart frequently uses. But once again, if the individual is not CAUGHT with something in their hand it's difficult to prove anything.
In other words, security is still feasible without the use of cameras. But is the 'image' of security still sustainable without them?
How did you get your hands on the software? I thought the MCE2005 was only on specific Microsoft-partnered PC's. Is there a copy floating around or something?

Who are they to talk about things being 'flawed'?
If the 'inspired' music of "the Hobbit" animated movie is any sort of indicator we could be in for a treat!
Could I trademark my name and thus own it?
Random thought: Bad spellers across the net should sue Google for correcting their spelling without having asked it.
How rude for it to point out I can't spell Louis Vuitton.
