I haven't used it for outbound calls, but I quite enjoy the many calls from far away numbers that I receive badly transcribed in my inbox from people quitting their jobs, or going on vacation, or trying to find out why their girlfriend hasn't called them back. It's a form of entertainment.
Now:
"It's a Constitutional right written in black ink and cannot be revoked by any mere subpoena."
10 Years from now:
"It's a Constitutional privilege written in red ink and cannot be revoked without government approval."
Flame wars are fun but...
I'm a compulsive gambler and it's companies like NPD that make my days a little less black.
When sports are just not cutting it, and the firing pool at work just isn't panning out, NPD has consistently been there to rescue the day.
My friend Ted, on the other hand, hates NPD.
It may have something to do with his old dog Spotty now being my new dog Spotty, after Nintendo came through and kicked Sony in the number-nuts in NPD league, but I'm not sure, he says it's because of consumer culture, or some such crap but I don't believe him. I think its because he misses Spotty.
Not too sure about airplanes but blimps were used for surveillance purposes by the police at the Republican National Convention in 2004. So, this is already happening in the U.S.

The 'story' tag never ceases to amaze me. It even pops up in questions!

It still only has one analog stick which means no (good) portable COD4. Lame.
A lot to be learned right now on cyberwar from Russia.
