The NSA issued a demand for corporations to hand over their private keys - or something to that effect. I know that in the UK it's illegal not to comply.

I think he was being sarcastic. I doubt the NSA filters all traffic from them internet tubes though an XP install running Wireshark.

Google Glass = voluntary surveillance.

Step 1. Record every facet of your life and take pictures.
Step 2. Backup precious videos of your cat, and snaps of your neighbour taking our her garbage, to the cloud.
Step 3. Meta data is extracted, date/time, GPS.
Step 4. Facial recognition is added to make it easier to tag your photos.
Step 5. Implicitly give access to your data to the NSA / GCHQ and allow them to unconstitutionally build a massive profile on you - including meta data / GPS / names of tagged faces.
Step 6. ???
Step 7. Profit!
Step 6.

I can see the advantages but I can also see great disadvantages - mainly copyrights and being locked out of your own system.

I think he meant in the OS dept. Locking users into proprietary software is all Microsoft will soon have left.

But but Android is only BASED off the Linux kernel yeah yeah but but.

Not only are they spying on you - they also stole all you money a few years back.. remember? Pepperidge Farm remembers..

I love you man. His legend lives.

Ground breaking..

What.. you mean one of the millions of web proxies around the world? It sounds like they will be spending millions one something that can be circumvented with a single Google search.

..It could work..

That would be the best thing that could happen to society as a whole to be honest.

Does it not mean that the NSA can validly sign executables or libraries? It might not have a listening socket but the principles are the same.

Actually the solution is to make use of people power, transparency, and kick the right wing bastards out.
