"Well, the camera is certainly faster and better integrated than on the iPhone (or most Android devices). Dedicated camera button means you can take pictures quickly without having to go through all you have to on iOS to get to the point where you're ready to take a pic." What are you talking about clicking in a app in the home screen and then on a button that has a camera on it very complicated indeed takes 2 seconds form a locked state on my iPhone4.

Would some one please get Tim Wu a tin foil hat cause that man is crazy!

Oh please and when you get robbed, beaten up, shoot or god forbid killed would you A want to be where there is no camera so that the guy gets away with out his face on tape, or B you just X with no camera no one to see or back up your story. In the more and more crazy world we live in where ppl get killed for their cell phone and the 10 dollars in their pocket i say bring on the cctv it's just like the speeding/red light camera it's for you own protection and what do you care if you are filmed on one of these while buying a hot dog or walking into a store it not like you are doing anything illegal ??? maybe you are and thats why this worries you.
