Tracking a Move Via "Find My iPhone"

dmolnar writes "I recently helped my girlfriend move her stuff from Chicago, IL to Oakland, CA. The movers were scheduled to arrive at 8AM on the 5th of July, and we were stressing the day before about all the things that could go wrong with a move. We realized that if we knew where her stuff was, it'd make us feel better. This is a story about using the $99 iPhone to track the move ... and about a somewhat surprising potential use of Find My iPhone to track your friends' iPhones without them noticing."

    Who the fuck keeps modding this shit up? I'm sick of this phone minimalism circle jerking I'm seeing so often on here (you know, this nerd & technology oriented site). Yes we all know you're in love with your Nokia 1100/3210/whatever - now how about you go and choke on it.

    It doesn't have ringtones...

    My phone makes phone calls, and I love it to death.

    You should really upgrade to a newer model. They can receive calls now, too!

    Fascinating.

    Up until this moment, I had no idea there was a Penske vs. U-HAUL religious war, complete with fanboys! I learned something today!

    It's primarily angst ridden geeks who worry about all the crap they've accreted.
