...kind of scrutiny that used to be reserved for celebrities. The concept of personal boundaries has been destroyed. Many companies track the content of their workers' emails and whether they spend hours each day online interacting with their friends on Facebook.

Samsung has tried with its Instinct model, and Google (GOOG) provides its Android software for a handset sold by T-Mobile, the No.4 U.S. carrier. The Samsung and Google-powered products have barely made a dent in the market share of the Apple and Blackberry products...
