Of course only in the jolly old UK:

The Children’s Secretary set out £400million plans to put 20,000 problem families under 24-hour CCTV super-vision in their own homes

They will be monitored to ensure that children attend school, go to bed on time and eat proper meals.

Private security guards will also be sent round to carry out home checks, while parents will be given help to combat drug and alcohol addiction.

The best bit? They’ve allready put 2000 families through this!

For $8000 you can launch your own satellite into low earth orbit at 310 km. It’ll stay up there for around 3 weeks untill it burns up in reentry. They come in kit form and you can stuff whatever you want in there as long as it weighs less than 0.75 kg and fits into the tube they send you. You can double, triple or quadruple the tubesat, allowing you to launch greater payloads. They will be launched on Interobital’s Neptune rocket, which carries 32 tubesats per time. They expect to launch 1 rocket per month from 2010 from the IOS Spaceport Tonga.

UCSniff can be placed on a laptop and put in a network where it will VLAN hop untill it finds the VoIP VLAN channel. It then throws out spoofed ARP packets like a man-in-the-middle attack and gets all voice and video traffic thrown to itself. Together with a plugin called VideoJak they can then insert video loops into the stream, meaning that whoever sees the camera output (the guard) will only see the loop and not what the webcam is seeing.
