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.

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

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.
