You said pause. Its off. No pause, just off.

A car with the key in the ignition can be off. A vacum cleaner plugged in to the house can be off.....why is this notion with Xbox so hard to grasp? You can be plugged in and still be off. This isn't new technology we are dealing with

Skeptical....no you are downright irrationally paranoid given all MS has told us about what they give and the privacy of kinect. Yes I am aware there are more people like you...doesn't make it right given all the evidence.

Insult me all you want, but your no better for belittling real concerns with a console. Honestly I'm not huge on privacy, but I like the fact that I always have the option of privacy. Computers do come with Camera's, but I can run them on OS's without the software to access it, I can also physically unplug it by opening my laptop up. Cell phones might be scanned for keywords, but if I was really paranoid, I can always tell people to meet me in person.

With One, you just don't get that.

Im not insulting you per-se, just saying that your concerns are pretty much baseless at this point and you are just feeding into your own fears.

A radio can be turned off when the car is on....you merely have to push a button to activate it and can cease it just as easily.

Focus on things you know are security risks like your phone, and don't worry about thigns that are not only not out yet, but have a track record of being untouched by government demands (referring to 360/kinect 1.0)
