And anyone who has stuff like Dropcam (which can only send footage directly to Nest Labs/Scroogle) should have some sense knocked into them with a steel-toed boot.

Seriously, I'm not freakin' out over "cloud" issues . . . the NSA . . . black helicopters . . . but I will defend your right to do so. I use customer loyalty cards, I do online banking, file my taxes online, use EZ Pass when I'm back east, so as you can tell, I can live with a certain amount of "lack of privacy."
