It's starting to look like every company will eventually include consumer-data spyware in their software.

Seriously. It is so easy for companies to collect info and send it back to the mothership. The trend is already taken for granted on websites, cookies are just expected. We expect companies to track our movements, keep stats, and even sell that data.

Google knows what you search for. BBC knows what news you read. Apple knows what you listen to...

It'll be intesting to see how each culture around the world incorporates this into their morals. What is acceptable and what isn't?
