Recording your employees' use of company computers, given proper disclosure, is an employers prerogative. It's also legal (in some locales) for parents to do this to their children. I find it immoral, personally (the latter), but this is not the point of the story at all and the story was interesting and highly relevant, so I'm really disappointed to see this is the top comment.

Yes, although usually a keylogger is not necessary. A few places I have worked the IT dept/Management had a VNC server running on every desktop (it showed up in the process list, I wasn't working in IT at the time).

I pointed this out to a few people who would use IM programs to 'flirt' with each other all day.
