gzt: I gotta say that's interesting implies ads with speech recognition.

oxnsox: No. Surely it's Listening to you.

Tailoring your ad-stream to what you've been talking about.......

But it's ok as long as its not our government listening

TimA: 
You brought up a good point, 

Our government might look at what we do and all. Which everyone is against.
But advertising sites and blah blah have been doing it for 10 years and still are and people dont give a stuff.

Thats right, i use adblock.

You know those new advertising stands at Westfield?  (If you don't have them, you will soon.  They're rolling out across Australia like a storm front).  They are an interesting piece of tech.  They have a camera at the top, and facial recognition technology designed to track which ads you personally see and notice.  Yes, they track eye movements to see if you actually look at the ad.  "Project Jonah" they call it - presumably a reference to Jonah and the whale, where Jonah is the money and Westfield is the whale.
