Darlene Storm: Person of Interest: Surveillance on steroids sci-fi or fact?

The new TV series Person of Interest taps into a program that provides "a tool
of unimaginable power" for government surveillance. CBS is using social media
and creepy interactive billboards to drive the surveillance-of-citizens' theme
home. While we may not have heroes tapping digital data to help save people's
lives, the high-tech tools that are used, often tied into security, are much
more fact than science fiction.

Group urges U.S. to require warrants for location-based tracking

At least it wasn't the user this time

This company has most of its users on thin clients, and they're set up so that
when a printer runs out of paper, the screen freezes -- and with one user,
that's a recurring support issue.
