    The following two articles should make it quite explicit as to what companies and governments are doing.

    The EFF has an article. Where it's suing AT&T for breach of privacy.
    The Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) filed a class-action lawsuit against AT&T Tuesday, accusing the telecom giant of violating the law and the privacy of its customers by collaborating with the National Security Agency (NSA) in its massive and illegal program to wiretap and data-mine Americans' communications. http://www.eff.org/news/archives/2006_01.php#00436 9
    In addition the ACLU has an update article on the U.S. National Security Agency, spying on American people and the rest of the world. "Eavesdropping 101: What Can The NSA Do? http://www.aclu.org/safefree/nsaspying/23989res200 60131.html.

    What is it going to take to stop this type of activity?

  6. Become Private on Search Engine Privacy Explained · · Score: 4, Informative
    The following are just some of the programs, which provide a level of both encryption and anonymous communication for Internet usage:

    • Tor: Onion-based routing that acts as a proxy layer between the client computer and the Tor network. http://tor.eff.org/

    • I2P: Also known as the Invisible Internet Project. The network is regarded as a message based system. http://www.i2p.net/

    • FreeNet: is a distributed information and storage retrieval system designed to address the concerns of privacy. Freenet is designed to be anonymous and totally peer to peer. http://freenetproject.org/

    • GNUnet: is a P2P network that can support many different forms of peer-to-peer applications. http://gnunet.org/

    There are other programs and if you do not want your "private details" known then you would be wise to use them. In addition, anyone who thinks their private data that is held by organisations and government departments is safe whether there is a "Data Protection Act" or not then they should think twice for example the "National Security Agency eavesdropping on Americans incident". This is not the first time nor will it be the last time that such incidents will occur. Without being anonymous, we can never have true freedom of speech.

  7. Extrinsic and Intrinsic Rewards on X Prizes for DNA, Nanotech, Autos, Education · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Extrinsic and intrinsic rewards are just some of the properties (for the want of a better word) that motivate people. These rewards will help solve these problems, which are not impossible, just technologically difficult.
