Re: All well and good...
That's what the Internet of Things is all about, and those horrible not-so-smart meters. With analysis tools, and the data from the meters, they can even tell what channel you're watching, let alone that you're watching the TV. This is NOT a tin-foil-hat statement, there's a slideset on it from a security conference floating around.
Add that to "targeted advertising", NFC, all the crapware on mobiles, all the CCTV and other cameras, and the bug-ered "smart" TVs, and someone (TLAs) can follow you anywhere. And you don't even have to blow in their ear (if you're a "Laugh-In" fan)...
No thanks, M$, you can sink into the sea of insolent sewage you've filled for yourself. Good riddance.
