What happens when the thing you are being recorded becomes illegal the next day? This is not just about first world use. The ubiquity of surveillance and it's illegitimate use to torment people is clear and common.

Has no one thought of just moving things to the darknet? Or is poker just that hard to code in the browser?

Hugh Pickens writes writes: "Defense Tech reports that several F-16 engines weighing 3,700 pounds each have been stolen from a base in a central part of the country as Israeli officials played down the loss saying the engines were old or retired and likely stolen for scrap. US security and aviation experts contacted were not so dismissive of the missing engines and said that some countries would see value in having them and taking them apart. “They’re still more modern than anything in the Iranian air force inventory, and they would even be helpful to China in their jet engine development,” says Richard Aboulafia noting that modern technology engine design remains “a black art” and that competitors would love the opportunity to study them. This is not the first time jet engines have gone missing. In June 2011, Israel reported the loss of eight F-15 and F-16 fighter engines from a base at Tel Nof near Jerusalem when investigators found the engines had been taken away on large trucks, prompting speculation that the thieves had help from inside the base. In 2009, two F-5 engines were stolen from an airbase in Malaysia, tracked to Argentina and ultimately located in Uruguay."

Then don't shop there?! I shop at plenty of places that only record the last 3 days or don't have cameras at all. Am I the only one that remembers all the pissed off people when Google Street View came out? I keep my blinds closed a lot more since then...I don't feel like that is fair that I have to be worried inside my own home.

All the comments seem to be focusing on whether this is even real. Am I the only one that expected this? When I read the first slashdot article talking about google glasses, that was my reaction. How could I circumvent all these wienies with cameras on their heads?! I see these types of troubles increasing as more people take these things out in public. I swear to never interact with anyone wearing those. If I have customers that walk into my store wearing those, they will be asked to leave immediately or the police will be called!
