Sorry to burst your bubble, but in actual practice we find that anonymized data is in fact NOT anonymous.
In quite a few cases, when you have most of the metadata, you can extrapolate with high levels of precision, who the individual is, even with anonymized data.
Think about it. If the device is worn by a 5'1" female who wakes up at specific times, goes certain directions, and we can correlate it with specific transaction locations, we can precisely identify the person.
The existence of places people don't go, and times when people do things, allows us to infer with high levels of certainty, who the person is.
(yes, this affects anonymized data in medical research applications as well, and it's getting harder to fully mask out individuals, due to their existence in many databases which allow us to identify them, especially when they have certain medical conditions and are extreme in things like age, or participate in marathons or known events like concerts)
Expect successful lawsuits in Canada, where Privacy is a Constitutional Right, and eventually in the US by EU/UK and Canadian citizens protected against such actions by the EU/US and US/Canada Data Treaties.
(note: if you don't like that they have more rights in the US than you do, don't sign treaties giving them such rights next time)
Very true. I was one of the Palm early adopters and got IPO shares. Made a killing from that.
Will we find the concept from the Google Glass migrating to contact lens bio-powered camera devices that one has to wear a headband that pulses red (or more likely blue, since many men are color blind)?
Yes.
Will Google Glass die?
Yes.
Are you still using your old Palm or Rio MP3 Blue Crystal devices?
I didn't mind the self-driving car running over my neighbor, but having it run over cats, dogs, and small children on skateboards and darting out from bushes does increase the amount one has to spend on car washes.
In the end, the fact that citizens of the EU and of Canada reside in the US and, under the separate US/Canada and US/EU Data Treaties can not have their privacy rights stolen without specific item by item agreement (not Click To Accept), will be what saves the US Internet from itself.
And so do "invisible" glasses and scatter light hoodies.
But that's internal face recoginition stats the NSA and other mil agencies don't want you to know.
Just dress up for cosplay and game events (foot whatever) and they have a really really hard time tracking and ID'ing you. Especially if you do social camoflage like changing clothing and group and walk.

Once Washington State gets on the case, you know the corporations quake in their socks and sandals.

Look, requiring two on duty actually increases risk factors.
But, keep living in your paranoid 'safety' world, it won't work anyway.
My bad.
they all have to be funny, but in different ways. Which is why current Top Gear works.
(scene) We are on a deserted airplane runway in Iceland
A car races by - with The Stig in it.
It pulls up to a shiny outdoor hot springs.
Another car races by.
It has a dark complexioned youth driving it. He's dressed in tweed and wears glasses. Thin Brit style. He gets out.
A third car races by.
It has a young short guy in it. He's done up for a footy game. He gets out.
A fourth car races by.
It opens, and the words Top Gear: Mark II appear.
It's a young British woman of mixed Asian descent.
The crowd goes wild.
even I think American Top Gear is weak sauce.
Now Aussie Top Gear, that's alright, mate.
Actually, Top Gear popularized electric cars for most of the world, by giving them the cachet of "man, that's cool".
Nice try, though.
I see you're unfamiliar with gear heads.
Try to avoid European footy matches and rugger and crickets scrums, is my personal advice.
Strange, 14 of the 50 US States have been investing 5-20 percent in renewable energy, and their GDP is growing faster than the ones that don't.
Keep pining for your failed fossil fuel religion, the markets care nothing for your ideology.
And cheap clean energy is a market advantage that only some anti-capitalist Mercantalist would hate.

They appear often in the cartoon series on Disney XD. You can even hear the hum and see the shields go up. Kind of a Dune effect.
good catch. more like deflector shields.
But give them time and they'll get the plasma containment shielding working to get the light sabers up and running.
But how long until they kill it?
Well, I think the internal code name is Bertha, so give it a few years of failure before they kill it.
See, you tried 8.1 and then to get it working under 10.
You should have coded for 8.1, recompiled under Win 9, and then pushed the Win 10 build.
I tried to roll a Win10 app but I couldn't get it to compile in Linux.
Also, what is this Clippy thing that keeps popping up and asking me if I want bigger chrome fins on my OS?
Nice try, idjots.

Gosh, I hope not.
It's also illegal in Washington State to record people. And we're not the only state with privacy rights and anti-upskirt laws.
Which have been upheld in US Supreme Court.

It's over.
Just give it up, Glassh0135.
Oh, come on, if you could replace FB with an alternate service, it would be like DOTA being as popular as WoW ... um. Err.
