No Tivo? They are still watching you
Think Tivo owners are the only ones being watched? Got a cable
box? Think your cable company doesn't know what you are
watching? Right, keep believing that they don't know who's
watching reruns of G-String Divas.

Ever wonder what those packets are that hit the Internet every
time you use the search function on Windows XP - even when
you are just looking for a spreadsheet on you c: drive?

Your ISP probably knows everything about you. ZDNet sure
knows your IP address and which stories you read, the type
browser you use, your operating system, etc. (and the IP
address of the guy writing this comment)

If it's digital, someone is watching and probably making a
database entry. Get used to it, or go dark and start paying cash
for everything.
