Another example that the world is steadily becoming more ubiquitous. I wait for the day when you can't take a sh!t without your toilet analyzing your DNA/stool sample and sending police over because you've eaten something containing illegal drugs or outlawed transfats.

I was a BBS sysop/owner. Seemed nice hard working folks. I've watched them bring out product after product and was thrilled to see their success with WOW. They really broke new ground with it and the industry has enjoyed much success thanks to their example. Online games will make piracy a thing of the past. Oh, and if you think all those consoles playing all those other games online don't cooperate with the law you're delusional.

Please never use that photo again or risk turning this into a fetish site! Blizzard is being seen as the bad guy here, but the larger question looms: What defense do companies and consumers that aggregate information in "the cloud" have against dubious law enforcement agencies that want to conduct endless fishing expeditions? “Uncensored” indeed…
