Yes' and you can be tracked or find an escape route from your crimes of passion or perhaps it's just a cup of hot chocolate you want. Nevertheless remember to shut it off for privacy, we've being watched more and more a chilly fact about all the new fancy thinking devices. From binoculars tooo I phones to inserted digital chips taking the place of finger tips and you'll never know it was done

BAWAHAHA

Gizmos are fun and it was nice ot be able to see what you all were (or weren't) doing when there was a break in my conference.

BBO, are you jesting about not knowing Paul Allen? I see the smilie, but it is not a wink, so I'm not sure. In case you or anyone else here doesn't know, Paul Allen is a man who has had great impact in all of our lives, whether we realize it or not. Here is a blurb on him from Wikipedia:

Paul Gardner Allen (born January 21, 1953 in Seattle, Washington) is an American entrepreneur.

With Bill Gates, he formed Microsoft. Allen regularly appears on lists of the richest people in the world; as of 2007 Forbes ranks him the fifth richest American [1], worth an estimated $18.0 billion. He is the founder and chairman of Vulcan Inc. (his private asset management company) and chairman of Charter Communications. Allen also has a multibillion dollar investment portfolio which includes large stakes in DreamWorks Animation SKG, Digeo, Oxygen Media, real estate holdings and more than 40 other technology, media and content companies.

Allen was recently invited to join the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AMPAS).

Allen also owns three professional sports teams: The Seattle Seahawks of the National Football League, the Portland Trail Blazers of the National Basketball Association and a future Seattle soccer franchise in Major League Soccer that will begin playing in the 2009 season.

In 2007, Allen was listed among Time Magazine's 100 Most Influential People in The World.

He currently resides in Mercer Island, Washington.

Tater, yeah, the Eye in the Sky is looking down on us, as well as the Eye in the Wall and all over. But, what can ya do? With or without gadgets, that is now life. I don't like that I am being photographed so many places I go (parks, Wal-Mart parking lots, toll booths,...) but I don't see any way to get away from it. So...on with life and have as much fun as we can as we go, right? Just not blindly.

Yeah, just joshing, T, but I knew of him back when he was a rice pudding maker in Epping Forest.

BBO, that "winky" guy is plan scary!!!

I know what you mean about being photographed all the time. I count at least 13 cameras that "follow me" on my daily walk to work from the train in Manhattan. Creepy!

It don't bother me knowing all the eye's in the sky are watching me. Why should I when I am never up to no good and it actually makes the world a bit safer it really has little if any impact on my life.
