You guys are way too excited. You can still harass people annonymously for a few more years at least.

Speaking of futuristic oppression... just saw Equillibrium. Not as bad as you might think.

I just don't see the reason people have foreheads. Why are they there? Wouldn't a smaller head be much more useful? Since there is no real good reason to have a forehead at this day and age, I think a stylish barcode would do us all some justice. The barcode would not have to be black, it can be in a wide range of colours like green, blue, pink, etc.

Microsoft wields a lot of power and I hope they don't abuse it by encouraging "Big Brother" methods. This type of system seems like it's custom made for abuse by governments and businesses. Submitting personal information should remain voluntary.This Week's Pixel Art
