Watching Kids Via Mobile Phone

Posted by timothy on from the substitute-subjects-for-children dept.

Joe the Lesser writes "This BBC article says how parents could soon keep a much closer eye on what children are up to on their way to and from school thanks to a mobile monitoring system. It will send text alerts to their mobile phone if the child deviates too far from that route or takes too long getting there."

      Yes off-topic, but that first link is a pretty good story. I was wondering if anyone would get around to mentioning what a bleeding hypocrite Rumsfield is being with his blustering about the Geneva Conventions.

    Well, My first post-laptop purchase was a lock. It connects to my laptop via the convienent hole on the left side. It was not however, XP Certified. For that matter, neither was my USB keyboard light. Yet another stupid policy, and another reason to buy from independent chains.
