Xbone and ownership

Thank you both for taking the time to respond so thoroughly. With all that tracking, it sounds like Microsoft designed the new Xbone with the help of the NSA...

I really, honestly, would not be surprised. The thing is basically designed from the ground up to be a surveillance device in your home.

The NSA has direct access to Microsoft servers, we know this from the recent PRISM leaks by Edward Snowden (who now has, unfortunately, gone missing from his hotel room in Hong Kong).

Considering the always online internet connection, the design of the Kinect and the spying and surveillance by the NSA on American and other citizens, plus their direct access to Microsoft servers? If they hadn't yet planned on the home surveillence using the devices, it would only have been a matter of time.

After all...


The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

If they're already breaking this law, why not go all the way with it?
