Ever wanted to be a security guard?

SurveillanceSaver is a Windows and Mac compatible screensaver I recently discovered from the blogosphere that actually shows a live feed from 400+ network surveillance cameras located all around the world. The images even show city, location, and latitude/longitude so you know exactly where you’re “spying”! Whether this is voyeuristic and creepy or simply technology at its best, it’s amazing that you can literally watch something transpire in real time on a Saturday afternoon in your den, with your Mac plugged into live security cams around the world. It reminds me of 1984 or perhaps a real-world version of The Truman Show; technology is indeed amazing and the lack of privacy that this world now affords (Google Map Satellite View, anybody?) is pretty interesting to think about. That being said, check out this screensaver!
