Japanese Cos. Check Employee Computer Use

"A piece of software by SEER Insight Security Inc., for example, allows bosses to visually monitor employees in realtime through mini web cameras, zooming in when a worker acts suspicious.

Other recent programs produce reports on an employee's moves on a computer down to the minute, or analyzes inter-worker relationships through e-mails exchanged between each employee — letting employers identify cliques or loners within the work force."

Big Brother in Japan seems to be on the prowl. I wonder how many US companies are using the same technology?

Why hire someone you do not trust? Why monitor someone you do trust?
This is going in the wrong direction.
Right now I work in Japan. Thanks Im paranoid now. Will check my computer and the walls for spyware and cameras. :)
