I have offen heard that NSA and Microsoft worked together on things:

But I recently heard that the NEW Microsoft Kinect for the X-Box may now be used to spy on Americans as well and the instructions of the Kinect say so therefore in the eyes of the law because you had put it in your house, and if the Kinect that records your voice and watches your movements catches you doing something wrong it could be used against you or worse.

I don't know. Apple certainly is though http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology/2011/apr/20/iphone-tracking-prompts-privacy-fears

And I don't trust Kinect or even built in web cams for that matter. Reminds me to much of telescreens in 1984. And I am a bit on the paranoid side of things. Better safe than sorry.

I am 100 percent certain that they are not - because I don't use any.

Won't matter once the MiniTru goes online in 2013.

We need to invent a "blocking" gizmo like the police detective had in V for Vendetta.

Now *that* is a chip-in-worthy idea! So ... are there any programmers & electrical engineers out there who wanna step up for the hard part?

MiniTru?

NewSpeak.

1984

Ministry of Truth = Minitru (In charge of altering documents, propaganda, false reports and other lies.)
Ministry of Love = Miniluv (In charge of the Thought Police, torture, "unpersons", executions, fake arrests and other hatred.)
Ministry of Peace = Minipax (In charge of never ending warfare with Eastasia, or Eurasia, and other warfare.)
