Art, hacking, privacy, and the US Secret Service

["Rob, grandpa of Ryan, Trevor, Devon & Hannah" <rmslade () shaw ca>]

"Media artist" creates a form of spyware using Macbook webcams.  Runs it on 
computers in Apple Stores.  Apple calls Secret Service about the artist.  Lots 
more.  Some interesting and provocative concepts in the article, covering privacy, 
legality, search and seizure, and the fact that people show little affect when 
working with/on computers:

Even if there arise a mighty boxer among a people, or one great
in the pentathlon or at wrestling, or one excelling in swiftness
of foot -- and that stands in honor before all tasks of people at
the games -- the city would be none the better governed for that.
It is but little joy a city gets of it if a person conquer at the
games by Pisa's banks; it is not this that makes fat the
store-houses of a city.                   - Xenophanes (570-475 BCE)
