This one is quite interesting. It seems that some dudes / dudettes are researching a "camera" technology which takes advantage of the current online photosharing / storing services like flickr or photobucket.
The key idea is that when you press the camera's trigger a timestamp is stored. Based on this the pictures taken at the same time (and place?) are later gathered from the bowels of internet. The problem in this relates to copyright issues, but what the hell. When something is posted to the internet it becomes common property instantly anyway.
Its been clear for some time that the threat to privacy is not the little pieces of information released one by one, but the search engines and methods that gather them to the one single place. (Like my blog:)
