... you should see this video. This is a presentation given last year by Steven Rambah (owner of Pallorium, a private security firm) at a security / hacker conference (Toorcon). He gives examples and a good, overview of how business like Google and governmental agencies collect data on people.

Unless you have been living under a bridge for the last 5 years, everything about you (and I mean just about everything) has been and is being collected, stored, and analyized:

• Blog posts that you write (like this one)
• Email that you write
• Phone calls
• Purchases
• Web sites visited
• Pizza that you order (yes, really)
• You location at any given moment
• The eipsodes of lost that you Tivoed
• Your magazine subscriptions
• And MUCH more...

• Apple is already selling iPods that will hold 40,000 songs.


• Storage capacity will continue to double every year and half (see Moore's Law and Kryder's Law)


• Based on this within 10 years you will be able to carry all the music that mankind as ever produced in your pocket for about $100.
