Not impressed bro, you don't need to be big brother to have that capability. Anyone willing to sign a 2 year contract with AT&T can do it:



PS: I don't know why you are suddenly worried Skybird. It is fully legal to take pictures of a crowd is it not?

Everybody looks concerned and unhappy. I wonder why?

Of course if you are truly trying to hide.... don't go out in public.

So how many girls with red hair and freckles do we find here?

Putting more than 200 photos together with only a few glitches (the missing bodies, due to movement perhaps) seems to be a lot of fun...

There is another image made out of 25.000 single photos, what a lot of information!

I was trying to find my co-worker in that crowd. He used up the last of his holidays to go and watch Vancouver win the cup. Maybe he's out of sight bent over puking.

This statement is the ultimate servile capitulation to your king - your acceptance of his system to exploit his subjects.

Once upon a time there was a man - Mr Hillman - climbing the hill, proclaiming the hill and the trees to be his property.

Then he forced (with a whip) another man in chains - Mr Arborvir from Africa - to cut some trees, roll them down the hill and float them to the market for 30 days. Mr Hillman sold the trees for 100 credits and went back uphill with Mr Arborvir.

For his business Mr Hillman had to care for the availability of slaves like Mr Arborvir. He had to pay for guards, food, clothes, a save place to sleep, transportation to the trees, the health of the slaves as for axes, whips and seeds for new trees.

It's Mr Hillman's smart idea to make a living. Little to no work, well payed.
Some foolish people came up with the idea to free the slaves.

So Mr Hillman asked a free slave - Mr Arborvir, who changed his name to Treeman - to cut some trees, roll them down the hill, float them to the market, sell them and come back up the hill, to hand over the money. Due to his freedom and know-how he will be payed for that.

But he would have to care himself for food, clothes, a save place to sleep, transportation to the trees and his health. That' the savour of freedom, you know.

Mr Treeman did as advised for 30 days and when he handed over the 100 credits he's got at the market, Mr Hillman gave him 30 credits for the job, forced 20 credits to the community as taxes, used 20 credits to buy a new axe and some seeds for new trees and kept 30 credits for his own pocket.

Employees do the work their employer doesn't want to do and they pay him money for that.

This is our King's system. It's our best of all systems. Kept going by our kings - our true ineligible rulers. They care for several tricks to keep the people unware of the real deal.

Mr Hillman still cares for the availability of free slaves. He invests in tree-cutting machines to raise his own profit and to raise the amount of free slaves willing to work for only 20 credits. He still invests in guards and whips - police and military - to keep all free slaves in favour of his own wishes. He cares for laws and rules to protect property - especially his property - and to keep calm. He cares for uneducated people, just smart enough to do the jobs.
He changed the real gold credits into paper and finally into pure information. He makes the people believe into this information and forces investments of taxmoney, if they lose trust. He cares for a support-system to make the people believe they have a say.

As you see right now, the internet provides information to make the people realize and distrust the king. So he observes the people now, to get aware of any resistance to the system in time, to nip it in the bud.

So behave well and you don't have to worry.

To be fair, I did see a couple of movies (that I can think of) where I thought his acting was great:
Eye Of The Needle
Ordinary People
