I enjoy having as much privacy as I can have nowadays. No Facebook, Twitter, Xbox One... I will get get by without any of them.

I've watched videos of Project natals absolutely perfect voice recognition and hand jesture recognition without a single hitch on stage, I've also swore blindly at my xbox trying to get it to sweep over to the apps page by voice command and almost lost my shit at the thing trying to pick out a song in Just Dance 3 before giving up and going to the controller to do it. Don't believe everything you see on a stage showing it working fine.

So no cell phone/phone of any kind, laptop/computer, or internet for you then.

Oh wait... you're using the internet to post on this website right now. Unless you are using a series of rerouting proxies, they could easily track everything you do and even track you down just from posting stuff online.

So if people really want to be paranoid they need to quit being so selective about it! Lol.

"Oh I'm only paranoid about facebook and the kinect. The internet and my cell phone can't possibly be spying on me."

"Kinect can not see the living room...self destruct in 3...2...."

lol that was good :)

OP: I can understand why people feel unconfortable about it. Personnaly I do not really care and I'm going to have this baby pluged-in all day long
To be honnest we are all a bit paranoid to a certain extend. I'm actually making sure to avoid and not install anything from Google for instance. Like these people who are paranoid about Kinect; it is a bit irrationnal... But hey; we are all humans after all!

Well yeah, it will give them feedback about ads they are showing, complaints, things they like, etc. I believe I remember seeing something from an MS guy saying something to the effect of "if you appear happy, or voice approval for something, it will provide feedback to devs about what part of the game they are enjoying". Though, tbh, it would work the same with ads...so if someone is like, "oh man, I'm hungry, it might start showing food ads". Not a big deal, imo, and kinda cool in a way. Hopefully that is all it is used for.

Tailored ads are ok....I mean id rather see a pizza ad then a chick flick movie ad

IAgreed. The only time I've had something weird is when I sent someone an email and then literally something was cut and pasted out of my email as a keyword, and there was an ad at the top of the page saying "click here to learn more about (that thing I wrote)". I was really creeped out.

I think kinect is a pretty interesting device. I do like the night vision feature. I wouldn't mind programming for the device. Maybe when I get some more money together. Surely there's a lot you can do with it.

and then they yanked the brain out of kinect, oh wait 40 limbs nah we only need 20, oh and lets throw in a crappy 640x480 cam.  for voice turn your tv up as loud as you can while training kinect and find the noise level threshold.  i talk to kinect in my regular voice and it work just fine.

as for as on stage of course not but where not talking demos onstage but handson demonstraitions

Well, several tech companies are sending the government data either through coercion or bc of getting $$$$$ somehow.

The video camera part of Kinect isn't the only thing that the government would want to look at.

What websites have you gone to?
What searches have you performed on bing?
Do any of your friends have any form of criminal deviancy- i.e terrorism connections, pedophilia, drug sales/distribution, etc ???????

And beleive me, if they target you, they'll listen to every conversation that you have from your headset or messaging, bc MSFT loves you so much that they'll give it all over to Uncle Sam.
