    So Kinect is always going to be on, watching and listening to you. Kind of creepy right? Yes, probably so. But what if someone came out with an app that could let Kinect send you text when it detected someone in your house it didn't recognize? What if Kinect noticed your heart stopped beating and called 911 for you? What if Kinect noticed your burglar alarm went off and started to record and store the audio/video in the cloud? You guys keep thinking about big brother watching over you. As someone who recently got his house broken in to I wish Kinect could do something like this. Having a big brother is not necessarily a bad thing. Like a friend of mine told me, if something happens to me I want the police to be able to know where I am, what I was doing, and maybe get there in time to save my life.
