The January 2008 issue of Popular Mechanics magazine has an excellent article titled Surveillance Society: New High-Tech Cameras Are Watching You. This article outlines some of the new video surveillance technologies and how they are used.
I wrote about the dangers of mobile telephones a while back. Now we have a new term for the abuse of GPS tracking associated with mobile telephones — Geoslavery.
This story links geoslavery to the probable murder of Stacy Peterson.
An article entitled Stalked by a cell phone: Who’s spying on you? warns of the danger of downloading software to your cell phone, connecting to the Internet from a mobile phone, and the dangers of letting it get out of your sight.

Taiwanese electronics corporation Misumi has what it claims is the smallest camera ever, a tiny cylinder measuring only 4.4mm in diameter and 15mm in length, capable of 320×240 pixel QVGA capture. Featuring a 1/18” colour CMOS camera chip (which might be the smallest currently available), Misumi’s MO-R803 is a “snake camera” on a bendable wire. It’s available with two different lenses – one with a 55 degree field of vision, the other a wide-angle boasting 105 degrees.
Its tiny eye being less than half a centimetre in diameter, the MO-R803 will get into a lot of hard-to-reach places, making it a useful medical tool, a very handy pipeline inspection device, and an interesting surveillance device.
