    Some one has a website to tell you how to disable the GPS triangulation on your new cell phone? And then how long before it gets shut down for some kind of DMCA, PATRIOT act or [insert new law taking away our right to play with our toys law here] violation?

    This is a right to privacy issue, my boss doesn't need to know where I am when I'm not at work, its none of thier damn business where I answer my phone from. As long as I answer it and do what has to be done.
