Note what I said in a previous post - I don't think MS will misuse the Kinect. But one or more corrupt(ed) MS employees might for the right amount of money?

or any bank official, or any post man, or any mobile phone network worker, or any pc technician etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc.

Actually true, and more than a few times you hear of one of those being caught (and i am sure there are a lot of cases of people not being caught). There's a difference though (in my eyes) between a service I have no choice but use (and some of those have actual protections if they are misused) and one where I have a choice whether to put in my house or not.

So you dont have a bank account, mobile phone or post delivered then? 

You are trying to spin this as something extraordinary... it really isnt.  We run this risk every minute of the day from all kinds of service and product providers.

While you are sat in your home, the bank teller at your bank could be happily selling your bank details to his mate for $10.  The postman could be stealing your identity and the techinician at the mobile phone company could be getting ready to blackmail you over those dodgy texts you sent to sexy Susan in the office...

If you read what I wrote, you should have noticed I wrote "there's a difference though (in my eyes) between a service I have no choice but use (and some of those have actual protections if they are misused) and one where I have a choice whether to put in my house or not."

But the real question is... How the hell did you find out about my texts to sexy Susan????
