World's Smallest Digicam Is the Size of a Pin-Head
Digital cameras just keep getting smaller -- so small, in fact, that a camera based on a newly-christened "worlds' smallest" 1.4-millimeter (1/18 of an inch) chip from TDC would be almost completely unnoticeable no matter where you put it. The camera could fit in a package the size of this square:
The chip is ultra-low power, which means it requires only 3.3 volts of electricity. It is also ultra low-resolution, maxing out at 328x250, but that should be plenty high for the surveillance and spying that a camera of this size is obviously designed for.
Above, you can see the OV6920 from TDC compared with a match-head.

we might as well presume several things:
1) every one is under constant 24 hour video surveillance, if not now, then soon.
2) every one of us is a sinner who when truth be told, we do things that we dont want others to know about, or are ashamed of.
3) this makes us all innocent in a sense both from the forgiveness of Christ to those who believe in Him, and that we are none of us fit to be in judgement of others.
4) This is the equivalent of god watching over us.
5) we must forgive ourselves for our sins because only then when god forgives us, will we able to put to use this grace.
6) we have to stop sitting in judgement of others and look to our own sins, correct them, forgive ourselves as we have been forgiven, and then forgive others. then surveillance is not surveillance any more. it becomes observance without judgement.

Dear Dr. Eisenstein,
As a fellow Christian, I felt that I had to respond to your post. I have to agree with practically everything you wrote, except for the final sentences:
"then surveillance is not surveillance any more. it becomes observance without judgement."
It all depends on who is watching you. If a surveillance device is placed in my home without my consent or knowledge, then I consider that to be an invasion of my privacy - which, by the way, is one of my God-given rights. As far as I'm concerned, it is far more than just "observance without judgement" - it is in fact a gross violation of my rights. People have a right to be left alone. If you work hard, play by the rules and respect the laws of this nation, then you have a right to enjoy the opportunities and freedoms that go with living in this country. The government has no right to violate our most basic God-given rights - end of discussion.

i would use this to catch my partner cheating if supect anything, yes i have to agree everyone is entitled to the privercey, but when it comes down to being mest about and your feeling and emotions, i would want to know if i can really trust that person, i have been with people in the past and they are really good at covering there tracks, and if thay are a player i think theyt need to get cought one way or another, to catch your partner in the act is the best way to move on, but if you don't know about it and you just think it's all in your mind then that alone drives you crazy, i think its best to find out, yes i know some may think its freaky and pervey, but i just wanna know if my partner is screwing another person, better to know sooner than later i would say.. don't really care what others think, the way i see it is: i could just leave and fine someone new, but then i have walked away from somthing that i didnt need too, but then again if im right in what i think i did myself a faver, the is alot of bad people out in this world, and i intend in finding the good ones.. as i say,i've not got no time for slimers..

Might as well live our lives with the curtains pulled back. There is no more privacy. It's the New World Order in miniature.

ok randy what would you do if you think your partner was with another person in your bed? why you was out working. When you ask you're told it's not true, but then your partner's acting all flarty on the phone and chatting to people on the wab, would you like to find out? and the only way to do this is to plant somthing in your room for a small amout of time, yes i would disagree to do it to some-one out your home would be wrong, but when it comes down to your family and your home what would you do? i think this is the only way to sort it without herting feelinngs, then if it's not ture then i admit i would need help in sorting my head out, thinkin some- one is doin' the dirty. but so far now i have always been right,
