[!@#$%!]

thing is though, while i love my phone, nobody put a gun to my head and forced me to buy it. when the big brother features get out of hand i'll simply buy something else and i'm sure millions of other people will do the same. supply will meet demand.

i think even if the snowden leak doesn't get to change government policy (there will be some window-dressing but nothing more) consumers are becoming wary enough of intrusive technologies that a backlash is brewing.
