It sounds like a conspiracy theory, but it isn't. The pages coming out of your color printer may contain hidden information that could be used to track you down if you ever cross the U.S. government.

Not that I'm particularly worried about it... but maybe I should be. What other forms of prying will be enabled in future technologies?

Well, between this, the Pentium serial number scandal, and the MS registration thing (we're not taking your private information-Honest!), who knows what the government is up too. I wonder what the dark secret is with our Apples?

Just what we need, the government in everything. Very disturbing to me.

Looks like I will still need to cut and paste my messages from the library magazines!

Joking aside, I don't like it.
