Re: Big Brother ISP is watching.

But just think how grand life will be when they call us to tell us it's time to watch our favorite TV show, with our own targeted commercials: "Mr. Matt, the GPS on your cell phone informed us that you are not now in front of your television. Please report to your living room, immediately, or we will be forced to add a non-viewer's fee to your next bill."

Not far, not far. I expect one day soon to see a fee for not watching the TV, to offset the loss of impressions for locally inserted ads.

To carry this one step further, when you comply with the summons to watch your favorite show, the servers in the background have *already* determined which ads you'll be forced to view and when. Each viewer will get his own unique selection of ads to watch. If you step away from the TV, your GPS fone will skip the reminder to go back to the TV, but rather play the ads on its own beautiful LCD screen. Now *THAT'S* entertainment!

Damn you are sooo right about that Mike.The scariest thing is that there will still be a significant portion of the population that won't have a problem with that.
