I was reading the http://www.codeproject.com/Messages/5025843/Faarrrkkkk-You-Samsung.aspx[^] thread and it started to occur to me.

This requirement by everything to sign up and register (and perhaps give your credit card no., too, in case you need to buy something from them)is just a phase in the ongoing social engineering experiment currently in progress.

Foil Hats On Beyond This Point!

The various social media, as it expands not only in ease of use but matter-of-factness with said usage has conditioned the cattle (or sheep if you prefer) to get totally used to surrendering what they have at hand to a massive and unknown community. Consider the people who tweet every time they pull a few more wipes of the roll - they're totally acclimated not to "Big Brother Watching" but trying hard as they can to "Make Big Brother Watch". CP readers, in general, should be witty enough to deduce where this comment is going so I need not continue with the embellishment.

Suffice it to say "They're not out to get you - they already got you".

Foil Hats May Be Removed . . . But It Is NEVER Safe to Do So
