Track People Using Their Mobile Phones

Posted by timothy on from the double-edged dept.

Richard W.M. Jones writes "A couple of new services have been rolled out in the UK recently which allow you to track people when they have their mobile phones turned on. Mapminder states 'It's important to know where your loved ones are for your own peace of mind'. 192.com asks 'Do you want to know where your children are?'. Of course the police have been able to do this for a long time, and evidence from mobile phone positions has been used in high-profile court cases in the UK. Silicon.com has an article."

    A great idea for parents, however, as it's opt-in, stalkers need not apply ;)

    you NEVER hear of any corepirate deathmongers touting oxygen, even though it's the best thing for
    you/us. perhaps there's no countabull profit in it. another possibility is the overwhelming fear
    associated with knowing that a power that exceeds all known before, is in the wings/air.

    What if there is no Iraq, and it's all a put-up job? Come on, two incredibly lopsided victories, minimal US casualties... what if there is no Iraq, and those troops are just being sent to Fort Irwin or something... "World Class Training for the World's Best Army" indeed! What about those millions of dollars that are going to Haliburton to "rebuild Iraq"? Right into Cheney's pockets! I mean, have you ever been to Iraq? Neither have I. All I have to go on is CNN, a thirty year old copy of the World Book Encyclopedias, and the internet... now, that "Dear Raed" guy might lie to me, but Ted Turner? Never!

    I think that Iraq - the whole country - is a fake: just "like the 1960s moon mission"!
