ummm....the Android is already doing this and even though it's not talked about all Apple products are doing it to. Even Elite Trader is "watching you 
". They know who you are. One look at your IP address and they have your name, address, and probably much more. Welcome to the technological revolution. No implanted micro-chip needed -- just widget addiction.
And to address the economic aspects of this discussion....any company that makes widgets will have a limited economic advantage. Some company is always nipping at your heals if you're in the tech industry. There's a reason Buffett (sidenote -- lost all respect for him when he got into bed with GS, which is another topic for another thread) doesn't buy tech stocks. You can patent your products all you want but someone will eventually make a better widget with a different patent, and the technological revolution will continue to rock on!

Quote from ChkitOut:
using any google made product would have me feeling like my entire life is being recorded and sold. thats why i wouldnt get it. although you could argue that is going on already but i would just feel worse using hardware they actually designed and built like there is a 'we know everything' chip inside.thats why i dont use chrome.
