How Kinect will (probably) spy on us

Who cares ? I am not going to be doing anything they will be interested in. If they want to watch me playing Fifa and COD in my underpants then they can. Why do people get so paranoid about this ? What are they going to do hire a team of 2 million people to constantly watch 10 million people play some games ? Many more people already use Windows by Microsoft and have a camera and mic set up :)

Like this: "Kinect's ability to distinguish voices in a living room, notice if people are watching the screen or not, and even pick up their heart rate, is well known. "

Then you're fine having a camera recording your life 24/7? Joke aside, I don't really care nor I'm surprised, as you said there's almost no more privacy, I just think is right for people who will buy a xbox to know how to protect their privacy

tbh doesnt matter if ur recording or not, if u have camera then u can be most likely spied, thats why if ur not using it u should disable it or in settings or unplug if u have usb one, and what op says thats been knows since XO was showed, dunno is he delayed or simply didnt know :D

I think people should only be concerned about this if they do illegal stuff / what they do is of high interest for someone (and only if you do it in front of your Xbox...), and even then, I don't think Microsoft will shift over all the supposedly collected data just to find something like that...

It's not spying if you consent to it. Did you read the article?
