Something Good And Something Bad

We all love speed cameras, so I'm sure you'll be as excited as I was when I read this story about how there will soon be license plate recognition at every 400 yards on UK motorways, not to mention sprinkled around town centres and petrol stations. And how your details will then be stored on a database for two years, even if you haven't done anything wrong.

And the much-anticipated Google Base has now opened its doors. Looks interesting, if not slightly scary - Google already currently knows your friends (Orkut), who you talk to (gmail), where you live and what your house looks like (maps), your shopping habits (Froogle), what's on your computer (desktop search), what sites you read (personalised home page) and very shortly what you're thinking (personalised search). Clear proof that Google is actually run by the Illuminati.

I have also decided that my diary is becoming too much about my work, and therefore has become too boring. This will now change.

I'd also like to remind you that in 14 days and 16 hours it will be December 1st. Your attendance is compulsory.

Thank you for your time. That is all.

People keep saying that if you've nothing to hide, then the Big Brother surveillance, National ID card, 90-day detention without charge and other such charitable initiatives must be ok too.
