10: Productivity tools that watch you work, learn your habits, and write your autobiography all at once. | |

Eric Horvitz spends his time at MSR developing advanced ideas for time and resource management. His work automates the prioritization of tasks by monitoring the formatting of emails (and eventually the voice-print of voice-mails). His software even uses his digital camera to watch how he moves in his office, so his machine can learn by literally watching him work! His Life Browser tools give us a peek at the sort of software that might give all of us our own [virtual] executive assistant. |

| I watched this video and the first thing that came to mind, is privacy. Software that automatically map u life, watch what u do on your computer and possible relay this information to someone else. Sound like it be a why of making Spyware Intelligent. Will we ever be safe in our own castles. |

| I called Big Brother on my future phone. Big Brother says not to worry. Nothing will be done with the information gathered when your life is monitored, recorded, indexed and analyzed. War is peace. Freedom is slavery, etc. |

God forbid that the government might get a warrant and find out that I asked my Aunt Susie for her blackberry cobbler recipe, via email, back in August 2002.
What are you guys doing that is so evil? |

Normally I'd agree, but the government hasn't been using warrants lately.
I have no problems with the technology and its goals though. BitLocker and EFS might be nice complements however. :-) |

I don't have an issue with warrantLESS discovery that I asked my Aunt Susie for her blackberry cobbler recipe, via email, back in August 2002.
of course, as a taxpayer, I would hope they wouldnt waste gov resources following my desire for a good pie. |

I'm saddened by the exposure of SWIFT by the AQIA (Ny Times, LA Times).
"What we had not spoken about publicly, however, is this particular source. And, unfortunately, this revelation is very damaging. Since being asked to oversee this program by then-Secretary Snow and then-Deputy Secretary Bodman almost two years ago, I have received the written output from this program as part of my daily intelligence briefing. For two years, I have been reviewing that output every morning. I cannot remember a day when that briefing did not include at least one terrorism lead from this program. Despite attempts at secrecy, terrorist facilitators have continued to use the international banking system to send money to one another, even after September 11th. This disclosure compromised one of our most valuable programs and will only make our efforts to track terrorist financing - and to prevent terrorist attacks - harder. Tracking terrorist money trails is difficult enough without having our sources and methods reported on the front page of newspapers. " http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1664085/posts |

#7: Geez, you even try to sound like Bush. It's yet another power expansion under the guise of national security. Why don't they just get it over with and declare mandatory chipping of all citizens? And, based on past lies, half-truths and innuendo, I don't necessarily believe Bush when he says anything. He could just as easily lie to justify the continued existence of this program. I suspect that these insurgents are more clever than you think, and have been operating under the assumption that money was being traced for years.

#9 Try to link a Microsoft page about SWIFT and a news release where SWIFT is not mentioned (Al Taqua and Al Barakaat are NOT SWIFT) is kind of dishonest.
SWIFT was a secret. And it was producing leads on terrorists. Maybe it was only catching the dumbest of the terrorists. But they were killing people too. Bush haters believe in 2 things. Bush is evil and "The enemy of my enemy is my friend." Bush is their true enemy, Bush is trying to defeat Al Qaeda, therefore Al Qaeda is their friend. From your comments, you have BDS real bad. As does the NY Times. And the LA Times. Both are charter members of the Al Qaeda Intelligence Agency. In WWII, the Nazis knew the invasion was coming. They just didn't know which day and which beaches. Publishing details about this program is no different than if the NY Times published in 1944 that it was Normandy in early June. |

Tow the party line dude.
Those in fact-based reality can decide for themselves. SWIFT was no more secret than ActiveWin. Al Qaeda is an enemy of the US and our allies. Bush is an enemy of the constitution and acts against our best interests. I'm saddened by the exposure of Valerie Plame by the Administration and the damage to her WMD-related operations. I'm saddened by the brushing aside of the Geneva Conventions and UCMJ by the Administration and the damage to our fight against terrorism. I'm saddened that because of the Administration, US Citizens may no longer be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures. |

Only one comment: President Bush did not create the policy that made use of SWIFT - work opposite that material began in 1977 when Gerald Ford was President.
The program has been run in the same way since it began - though now its efficacy has been grossly damaged. |

n4cer, are you sure Valerie Plame and other agents are truly "secret". Using your earlier methods to determine secrecy (all terrorists knew about it, because 100% of terrorists are up to speed if even one single terrorist is aware of it).
is there anything Bush has done right? I'm just curious if you can think of a single thing. |

"SWIFT was no more secret than ActiveWin."
I bet 99.9999% of Al Qaeda has never heard of ActiveWin (you being the exception). "I'm saddened by the exposure of Valerie Plame " Then why did her husband put her "cover" name in Who's Who? Why go on the cover of Vanity Fair? http://wizbangblog.com/2005/08/05/joseph-wilsons-whos-who-in-america-entry.php "I'm saddened by the brushing aside of the Geneva Conventions and UCMJ by the Administration and the damage to our fight against terrorism. " I'm saddened that non-uniformed terrorists who executed civilians aren't being shot, but I am heartened by the fact that as POW's, they can be held until the war is over. As soon as Al Qaeda is defeated, they get to go free ... say 20 or 30 years from now. "I'm saddened that because of the Administration, US Citizens may no longer be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures." Listening in on international phone calls and monitoring international financial transactions are a proper response to terrorism that slaughtered thousand of US Citizens. I'm saddened that thanks to people like you and the NY Times, terrorists morale has been improved by the knowledge that their supporters in the United States want them to be able to phone here and send money by the SWIFT system with zero danger of being caught.
