Then you say, "Ok, here you go, is there anything I can help with or clarify? By the way the Thai place I'm always at on Fridays has really good spring rolls?" I dunno, I've been watching old Hitchcock movies... citizens and police used to cooperate... it seems better that way.

I can't find anything logically wrong with the argument... I mean the police need a way to determine probable cause so they can get a warrant to actually invade someone's privacy. If they're not allowed to know anything you do or say, how could they ever justify getting a warrant? There has to be a range of activity that the police can do freely in order for investigation to function at all.

What I don't really see is how this is fundamentally different from having a cop tail your car... they don't need a warrant for that. This is just more cost effective. Likewise where you drive your car to seems like public information anyways. Why would the government even care about his every day (mundane) life anyway? It's not like they're going to extrapolate his gas station schedule and try to sell him an Exxon card...

No kidding. Man what I'd give to have been able to do this. I'd imagine the kids that would qualify for this would generally find each other and make their own little group, which would offset the age difference between them and everyone else.

Without Sully they'd have just gotten wiped out though. 99% of the time I agree that inserting an annoying white guy into an otherwise cool story (Transformers, Forbidden Kingdom, etc) detracts a lot, but this time I think it was well integrated and made sense. Sully was cool too.

This sounds like one of those "America loses 50 zillion dollars a year while employees zone out" studies. If people were machines we wouldn't need IT.

I for one am in favor of using the military to solve all conflicts, and destroying all of nature. Anyone that disagrees is a dirty hippie. There's no middle ground here.

Would you download a car? Would you download a TV? Would you download someone's purse? I know I would.

I was thinking Ferris Beuler...

What happens when the kid hacks the device?
