And yes, the machine will have to at least "call home" every 24 hours. I dont know if that means the machine will have to be on 24/7 or what but it sounds weird. You cant play games offline anymore either and must have at least a 1.5mb connection...

No one freaks out when they have to sign into steam to play their PC games. All MS is doing is automating that process and having the console sign in once Ar night so the console is always authorized and ready to go.
Also, MS has said you can completlu shut the console down, if you want in functionality, except for a trickle to leave kinect on and able to respond only to " Xbox on"
Is there a possibility for your console to get hacked and to get spied on? Sure. But it's no more, than any other wifi Internet device with a camera and mic. Are you that worried abou your smart phone? Your laptop with built in camera? We all already have Internet enabled devices that have this danger.
