McNealy Was Right
A recent post by Don Park about a girl who refused to clean up after her dog and was “outted” by a camera phone totting netizen shows that Scott McNealy may have been right when he said “You have zero privacy anyway, get over it.” The girl is apparently being hounded in a nationwide witch hunt.

Everyone should refuse to not clean up after their dogs, the world wouldn't not be a not dirty place

The moral of the story is be sure to always clean up your poop.

There is a big difference between "privacy" and accountability.
Perhaps small town Janteloven is simply making its way back into urban life:

Yes, but the interesting twist is that the reduction in privacy afforded by networked media devices like cell phones is making this girl accountable in a way that was previously experienced only in the smallest of towns and villages.
