Big Brother in the UK

I really enjoyed this pic highlighting the public backlash in the UK over the increasingly widespread use of Closed Circuit TV cameras. Ironically, the sign is right next to a closed circuit camera (upper right). Picture credit is BBC News.

Along the same lines, some CCTV cameras come with built in webservers so that their owners can view the image via a web-browser. The resulting URL for the camera follows a standard format which is searchable in Google with the following string: "inurl:%22jpg/image.jpg%3Fr%3D%22"

A brilliant mind has used this information to create one of the most creepy screen savers you will ever see. It randomly chooses one of the URLs picked by the google search and sets that as your screensaver. Check it out at: http://i.document.m05.de/?p=418
