Surveillance Society

As if AOL's search-data oopsie earlier this month didn't do enough for the privacy willies, a couple of criminal busts come along to refine that gnawing sense you try to ignore that someone is always watching:  a CEO on the lam traced after a Skype call, and a webcam-watching Texan who espied burglars in Liverpool.

Neither of which, of course, go to the general proliferation of cameras in public places, under the specious justification of crime control (or the more straightforwardly aggravating one of revenue generation).

At least IT doesn't want to nick your lunch.
