          I would rather try to get back my money, but burning it would be the next option. We take privacy very seriously.

              @JaredBusch just because you didn't believe the Edward Snowden stuff was real until he leaked it, doesn't mean it's not real.

                        I'm too much of a free-thinker to not realize that a sizeable portion of "conspiracy theories" are at least connected to truth. If I'm going to pick one side and go with it, I'll err on the side of caution.

                          How the general public doesn't accept this as well is beyond me. With all of the leaks, etc, stranger and stranger things seem to be true.

                          Heck Google has a working prototype software that adds data to existing photos to provide more detail. Through their analysis of the billions of photos they have, they are able to guess what is typically next to something else to increase the resolution on a picture. Sure, they could never add something like a license plate number to a picture, but tons of other details can be - Those CSI shows aren't that far fetched anymore.

                              Speaking of CSI shit, I saw this over the weekend. A tiny microphone, small enough to fit on the edge of a dime and they are indestructible.

                                    Oh man.... 500 mics in an array would create such a phase coherency nightmare. But I like experimental recording techniques... I'l take 500 of them!
