Posted by: Tweaker

Well now this is interesting!!

Not only is Microsoft getting people to sign up and give away their personal info for $20, but now it's going to start keeping track of what they watch on TV as well

Wired reports that Microsoft will be using Predictive Networks' technology to track the viewing habits of people who use Microsoft TV interactive television products. 'Soon your television could be watching you far more carefully than you watch it,' it cautions.

Sorry about that did not realize that it was a repeat. Just saw this today. Oh well goofed again!

The difference is, the first one was a news article, this second one is more of an opinionated article. Each was stressing on different points of the story.

The news stays

Exactly why I dont have a TiVo.

I bet eventually on tv there are gonna be banners while your watching tv just like on the internet. Something similar to that is on baseball games where they have the blue screen behind homeplate and advertise tv shows or products. I dont like the idea of TV and the internet comming together. Its just not good.
