    Default Coming soon to a SC near You!

    excerpt--
    A developer in Tokyo has created an add-on for Vodafone handsets that's
    meant to be used as a night filter to let people take pictures with their
    phones in the dark.... the filter uses the distribution of heat to create
    its pictures. When attached to a high-end camera, the filter can see though
    certain kinds of clothing and is reportedly particularly effective on dark
    bikinis.

    Oh really now??? I'd kick their asses and sue if they took my pics without my consent

    They can get into major trouble for getting pics that see through clothing. Who the hell comes up with this shit?

    Sounds like a lawsuit waiting to happen. I mean, just the "see through clothing" part. They can develop anything they want...but I really do not think that they can market it if it infringes on people's rights and privacy????

    Ha ha LoveSex, no kidding. You don't want to hear about the dirty panty vending machine.

    If it makes anyone feel better, all the clubs I worked were on top of this- they were more concerned about someone making money off of the club with pictures and not giving the club a cut, than our identities being in danger.....Can't wait for the day to see some chucklehead waving a phone around and then getting clotheslined by a couple bouncers....LOL

    Are those available to the general public, though? I know that some things you can get only with the "proper authority".

    What would piss me off even more about that camera...is that I don't even need to be "working". Someone could snap off some pics of me at a nightclub or something and get the same thrill. Bastards...

    You have constitutional rights which keeps the Government out of your life. It says nothing about the person that is walking down the street. Thats what the Constitution states.

    You'd be surprised what you can get. I just looked it up. Here are just a few of the vendors you can buy RFID and GPS technology:
    http://www.rfidjournal.com/article/vendorsearch

    I went to one of their pages, just to see how easy it would be, and they target regular business owners.

    VeriChip, the implantable RFID technology, also looks somewhat easy to get. Here's a story on it in Wired news:
    http://www.wired.com/news/technology..._story_related

    And here's a list of centers you can get chipped at:
    http://www.adsx.com/prodservpart/verichipcenters.html

    Now, to really shock you, have you ever been to a Spy Store? A place where they sell all kinds of spy gadgets?
    http://www.thespystore.com/

    There is no such thing as privacy in public anymore. Even privacy in your own home can be easily compromised. And let's just forget about security on the net.

    I realized this when the first camera phones came out and I caught a guy taking pics of me in the club. I look at it this way, anything I do outside my home is able to be captured digitally in some way. Probably isn't happening very frequently, but as the technology becomes more available and affordable, it'll be much more wisespread. Can't even walk down the street anymore in some places without being videotaped numerous times.

    Someone should invent personal signal jamming units, like maybe in a wristwatch or something. Kinda like those license plate covers, but digitial, like an invisible shield surrounding you. Any scientists/engineers on the board?

    Holy shit!!

    I've heard about the spy store...but just naturally assumed that you needed some type of law enforcement cert to get that stuff. Wow...Guess not.

    Heh...a personal jamming unit would be cool...and do you know how rich the person who makes the would be? Runs to start trying stuff out...LOL
