Microsoft Spys On Kids.
Does anyone else think that the people at Microsoft behind this one have totally lost touch with reality. We understand the principle, but don’t you think it just shows a complete lack of trust in a child.
The teddy bear may never be the same again - Microsoft has designed a version containing microphones, a camera and technology that will allow it to watch a child’s every move.
The bear, which the computer giant has rather unimaginatively named Teddy, can use face recognition software to watch any child whose image has been programmed into its computer.
The SMH has the story.

Is anyone else having problems with the RSS feed, or is it just because I’m using Thunderbird?

If you wanted just a normal teddy bear without the gadgets then you could always buy one from http://www.postit4u.com.au maybe even insert the computer yourself but at least it will look good.
