I couldn't read that, but I have read some of it before, and seriously, I have my own version on that one...

"Hello, we are from NSA and we.... suspect unallowed activity on xbox. Yea, on xbox. And PC. And therefore we want a xbox-live gold account for a year... Yeah, or five...
Anyway, we also now have the right to sit and play games on work-time..."

:P

Basically it said the US and UK governments are urging the Xbox one to spy on gamers and use works of Warcraft and second life as well

I know, I have read some of before.
But come on, wouldn't you do that?

"We suspect this, and I am now allowed to sit and game on worktime, and no one can say I'm not doing my job!" ^^

I'm sitting here on my worktime, so... If I could, I would have sit and play xbox or computergames too on my worktimes... :P

If this is true, then I'd buy an XBone and do some pretty disturbing things in fron of the kinect to creep them out :P

Or just put up a sign in front of it saying "Hello NSA employee!"

I mean they monitor our phone calls, emails, text messages, etc. so its logical they would be monitoring online chatter on consoles as well.

Check out the app called Verge I Created: http://goo.gl/OFW1yl. It's only for android now, but will be out for iPhone in the near future!

It essentially allows you to share your location with your friends, family, coworkers, etc through a group in the app. You can find everyone in your group's location by pressing a button (assuming they respond to the request), and plot it on a map. From there you are given a point that is equidistant from everyone. With this you can find a place to search for and meet up and send this location to everyone in your group telling them thats where you want to meet. There's no need to enter any addresses, and all you need to do is click a few buttons.

Personally I'm just going to start sending cru messages asking if he got the nitroglycerin and silver nitrate. We'll soon see if they really are monitoring what we do on there. ;)

I don't think Farther's For Justice will allow you in the protest where you will be running around on a really high roof while pissed off your face

They're going to be bored watching me considering I'll just be using it to play games.

I think we should download a list of spy keywords (they record but don't monitor unless you trigger enough keywords) and just start using them ALL THE TIME

Just say the word "bomb" in every sentence and you'll be set.

Yeah, nothing in the world is truly private anymore. It's a shame really.

My kinnect lives turned off and unplugged because it doesn't work very well right now (I'm negotiating with Microsoft to replace just the Kinnect); however, if the NSA want to hack in and watch a moderately overweight guy play Battlefield in Boxer Shorts (it is Summer here and fucking hot) then they seriously need to investigate the phenomena called 'having a life'.

That's because you watch My Little Pony. That act also accounts for your lack of soul and relationship prospects
