Believe it or not I frequently don't link things when it's too damn depressing, but BB2 is expressing concern. Indeed it is a matter of grave concern. I skipped linking this the other day, but went back and got it.

Already we notice our computers coming with all kinds of amazingly "handy" features. Macs come with Time Machine. If you get yerseff a backup hard drive you can use this program to restore your computer to whatever condition it was in on any given date. Isn't that handy? Now if you delete something you didn't want to delete, no worries mate, IT'S NOT DELETED.

They're too goddam lazy to just do the good old forensics to retrieve stuff you've deleted. Now they want it on a platter. And anyone who wants to make it, or keep making it, in any business having to do with these puppies or the internet, is going to have to be providing you with all these handy "tools". Look at your address book. There are fields for every possible thing you might want to put down about your contacts, and when it's attached to your email program, so much the better. So beside MyTwitFace being any stalker's wet dream, your computer, which can be switched on or awakened remotely, wifi-ready, with all those cookies and handy password-remembering features, and histories for every page you go to, caches, flash cookies, now there's other stuff that bypasses your browser cookies, and your flash cookie cleaner, that reside in the dank depths of your computer.

Vastly easier to hire people with this level of understanding of how to get what they want from you than to find the guys who know how to get your hard drive to reveal its past.

This is what happens when only sociopaths have the drive to get things done, to make things happen.
