I find it interesting that you are implying that 1984 is on its way to the United States when the UK has gone much farther to institutionalize a society of surveilance and reliance on the government for everything from self defense to fighting kitchen fires. Turn in your kitchen knives and fire extinguishers before they are turned on you, Great Britain.

I had to take a look at the calendar when I read this. Are they thinking of doing some type of monitoring for real or is it April Fool's Day on some part of the planet right now?

Where do these people come up with these ideas? I wonder if they would mind being monitored themselves.

Every Home Office should have one! Otherwise, some folks would hang out at airports to show off... or worse, they may erect an INQ cam. Oranges and lemons for sure. "1984" harsh reality TV brought home for the masses. Hello, Is this 1-1-2? Yes, could you give me the number of London Calling? 


Nothing a little duct tape over the Komcast peephole won't fix

You Brits already have this, no? Isn't the UK the most surveilled country in terms of gov't cameras watching the public on the streets, subways, highways, and so on?

Why would a camera in the living room upset a Brit? They seem to like the cameras everywhere else.

You see, this is what I've been saying. Microsoft's effect has held innovation back by decades. Otherwise we could have hit 1984 pretty much on time.

Dang Microsoft.
