- polyfrolic, on 10/12/2007, -1/+23All of this just to check if your running an authorised copy of windows at home and work?! (yes this is a "joke")
- Lacero, on 10/12/2007, -1/+18...more like The Final Cut... zoe implant...

- DarkElf109, on 10/12/2007, -0/+9An online database? Great idea! Putting private matters online never caused any problems before... *cough*AOL search data*cough*
- JamesWilson, on 10/12/2007, -1/+10First it will be for "boosting human memory."
Then it will be for "helping figure out what happened in an accident."
Then it will be for "figuring out what happened at a murder."
Then it will be for "stopping terrorists"
Then it will be for "stopping drugs"
Then it will be mandatory, automatically uploaded daily to the government for further inspection to make sure you're not doing anything illegal. After all, if you're not doing anything wrong, why would you have a problem with the government looking over you shoulder..just to watch out for bad guys.
A very slippery slope indeed. Watch out guys.
If you want to say I'm wrong here, look at a lot of other technologies: Cameras. RFID. Voice recognition. Face recognition. Credit cards. Cell Phones. All once very novel and cool, but they end up biting us in the ass. - Mithrander, on 10/12/2007, -0/+8/me plugs external 400GB USB hard drive into brain...
- nicokaiser, on 10/12/2007, -0/+8Just remember to activate the product or your life will stop working after 14 days...
- boohoo, on 10/12/2007, -7/+14stay tuned. google or apple or both will copy this soon. and droves of lemmings will clamor for iSensecam or gSensecam

- Matic, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5I had this idea except with using an iPod recording everything you say and hear and it listens so that when it hears something it will search it's own database to play back what it finds

- JamesWilson, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5mrASSMAN: like many early technologies, its voluntary now. It may not be later.
- subflames, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4there is some things i really rather just forget and this seems like a great way to be able to have government get hold of/or tap when there need be so that now they can trace us even more
- levitron, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Sci-Fi author Robert Sawyer mentions these in one of his novels, as personal alibi machines. Every sound and image is automatically uploaded to a secure storage site, and only accessed for legal purposes. That way if a crime is committed, all the police have to do with suspects is review their footage at the time of the crime.
- mrASSMAN, on 10/12/2007, -2/+5Make sure to shut it off before you murder someone or blow up the white house.
- coolbru, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4In the movie 'Strange Days', there's a black market in other people's experiences, a murderer who injects their experience into the inputs of their victims as he's killing them, and even the problem of hackers inserting memories you never had...
- G33k0ft3chz, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4I thought Google was after world domination..I was wrong..
We are Microsoft...we know who you masterbate to...
or We are Microsoft...We know you like Emo/Punk music! - stuartcw, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Just remember. Even if you record all of your life, you'll never have enough time to watch it all again...
- min_t, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3I'm sure identity thieves will appreciate how it makes their lives easier.
- theoallardyce, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Never mind a black box, Its already possible to record 24 hours of video on a standard camera phone with a cheap gig memory card - just a few years a go, 1GB in a phone would be unheard of, hell 10 years ago 1GB in a desktop computer was quite allot). The technology is coming fast and all its going to take is a bit more technology advancement and a bit of software and a novel idea. If something happens that gives people the ability to be bothered to do this then we'll all be walking around with cameras strapped to us 24/7. Camera phones have already caught countless incidents that just wouldn't have been photographed or videoed otherwise, we're already seeing software that you can hide on other peoples phones to record them, we already have tracking services anyone can sign up to - its all a matter of time.

here's a video about "my life bits" which is the software end of the research. The video is more than a year old, but still interesting. - itsnotvalid, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3The Final Cut... same here. It is really the same idea except in The Final Cut the implant is inside the body.
- Qoogirl, on 10/12/2007, -2/+5Boosting your memory? Come on--literacy rates are not so low anymore. Pick up a pen and write a private journal! At least you can burn it later on...This is just ridiculous poppycock.
- WaterDragon, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3They are already taking care of that with the new US census forms...invasion of privacy like never before!
http://www.free-market.net/towards-liberty/new-census.html - yahoofrom, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3it will be used for "p__n"
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -2/+4ooooh boy cant wait for the FUD to arrive. wait looks like it already has.
- MiddleOfNowhere, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3Hmm. This is certainly not "the first step in an attempt to boost human memory power". Everything we record about our lives (images, video, chat protocols, mail archives) is part of that.
Ten years ago, who would have thought that you can get a semi-professional video cam for a few hundred bucks, tape and edit thousands of hours of video material on a standard PC? Also, you might want to read Vannevar Bush’s "As we may think". The man was a visionary who laid the foundations for the web and hypertext systems in general. He proposed a system called the Memex that would allow a researcher to record and retrieve every piece of information he had ever read or written. And that was 1945; decades before the PC and the Internet.
Cost of digital media is going down, while audio and video recording devices become smaller every year. Add wireless to the mix, and soon a DYI record of everything using an unobtrusive "omnicorder" may be in reach. And it’ll probably show that a depressingly high percentage of our time I is filled with dull, repetitive stuff. :) - ujangdigg, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2hope the patch available on my WSUS for no-charge
don have SMS yet :( - FlyboyP, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I'd hate it. Haven't you ever been in an argument and the woman says "No, your EXACT WORDS were...." And you deny the hell out of it.
With this thing every argument would be "Oh, well lets just take a look at the VIDEO, shall we??" - FlyboyP, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2"deggeneraoin"
What generation can't spell? - WaterDragon, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2"The device is a first step in an attempt to boost human memory power beyond it's natural capacity"
More likely, it will contribute to the continuing decline and deggeneraoin of memory, just as electronic calculators have produced a generation (in the US) that mostly can't do the simplest math, and as dependency on various other technologies has produced a generation that, for the most part CAN'T SPELL!
How PATHETIC! - Rosewood, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1This post reminded me, didn't Bill Gates mention this a few years ago?
- Qoogirl, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I'm glad you enjoyed that word. =)
- Goner, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Tivo for your mind.. I'd be satisfied if I could just rewind and review the last 30 minutes at any given moment.. maybe hit record for an important meeting or conversation so I could review it later..
Beyond that, archiving everything is too much and invites privacy concerns... - wistar, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1"Shall we see the replay?" she said, hands on her hips.
- r00tus3r, on 10/12/2007, -3/+4This actually sounds pretty cool, but I bet it'll be quite a while before we see it in mass production sadly.
- djchester, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2"Some still images captured using the SenseCam. The near infrared lens can make sky and grass appear oddly coloured, and the fisheye lens distorts straight lines a little."
Hahaha.. distorts straight lines a little.?? look at the images! oh man that's funny. - wistar, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Your conclusions aren't based on anything other than your empirical observations. Many factors besides calculators have produced poor basic math skills, not the least of which is teaching fads that seem to be going in and out of style with ever increasing speed.
- mindinhand, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0This idea made one of my philospher friends super made. He says that people should delibritely edit the memories we have in our brain and that this leads to a sense of self. He thought it would be bad to have an unbiased viewpoint of ourselves.
- wistar, on 10/12/2007, -3/+3Just another sensor network node.
- JrGhoull, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0this sounds exactly like the total recall thing this other guy was working on.....not sure if its the same thing, it mite, but if it isnt then its a total rip off of the other guy...course i know all is fair war and business. i can see this being useful is done correctly, but i dont see it being very successful, dunno y but i just dont.
- rainrunner87, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Very cool, but also kinda scary. I do not trust anyone enough to be able to read my life off my SenseCam.
- yakoff, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Sounds like a Peter Hamilton novel in which current lives are recorded and updated 24/7. When you die a clone is grown and memories are downloaded into it.
On a more cheerful note, just think about the great "Girls Gone Wild" movies, when they do not know someone is recording with an implanted camera. -
