> Both examples involve a potential change in social mores See! All you had to say is that a normal society wouldn't do this. That's my point - we've already done the surveillance half, and the part you're worried about is literally so unbelievable that it would require overhauling society. The cost-benefit analysis doesn't require you to aquiesce to additional surveillance because they literally have everything they could possibly ask for from your iPhone. From a marketing, information collection, localization, security, optimization, coupon-hunting and privacy-oriented perspective - they don't need you to wear the fucking glasses. Your concerns are as displaced from reality as an alien attack, or worrying about Hitler rising from the dead. > A veiled insult on my hacker-ness, huh? It's not veiled at all. The "takes" you originally posted are goofy - real hackers worry about realistic hacks. Over here in reality, surveillance has already won and your only choice is whether you want your smartphone from Brand Tweedledee or Tweedledum Inc.
