That is pretty scary stuff. I know that this goes on, however, from past jobs that I've worked on. At certain places, they actually had servers that monitored all traffic and blocked certain known leisure sites (Myspace, Youtbue...etc). "They" tried to make it a little easier on us employees by letting night-shift workers get on at certain hours, but I felt that even that was a possible booby-trap, and subsequently stayed away from it altogether.

If you have a blog and can figure out your company's IP address -- bock it. Also, check your Feedburner email subscribers and "pause" any of them that appear to be using your company's email servers.

So when you hook up your e-mail to your smart phone, they can (and do!) archive text messages. They say this is to determine whether you are participating in insider trading with your text messages, but who the hell knows! Once I found out that, I disconnected my phone from their servers and just check my email through the browser a couple times from home on the weekend. I have too many friends that choose not to censor themselves in their text messages to allow some huge corporation to archive my text messages.

I don't think most people are aware at how much power companies have to monitor people's actions at work. Good choice blogging from the library! I typically do my work from the library or from home, and never on the company computer (other than a few random e-mails). Scary isn’t it?

They also can record you keystrokes if they want to, but they usually don't unless they are watching you trying to detect something. I'm not in the security IT department, so I'm not involved in this activity, but word travels quickly over the wire. We can watch your desktop remotely and see everything you do. My company has a flag that tell the users we are monitoring remotely. But this is easy to get around. I go to the local library to do blogging stuff just because of what you mentioned above! <b>Big Brother</b> has arrived! And it's just going to get worse...

Pay for it yourself. Don't use it in front of your boss. Save yourself some grief and get a smartphone that connects to the web. Pay for it yourself. Don’t use it in front of your boss.
