Sounds really dumb if you're thinking that your shoe is just talking to your iPod. That's not all that's happening.
While the shoe connects with the iPod to do data acquisition, and you can track your workout on the iPod, you can also share your workout stats with others, help build community, etc - sort of the antithesis of the "isolated runner with headphones on" kind of thing. Very Web 2.0.
No, no. You were right the first time. It still sounds dumb.
The police response is this: Several yellow signs have been put up on the lamp posts that have bizarre txt-speak drivel on them. A typical example is "If ur bad we'll tell ur olds."
I just have to say that that is the most stupid idea I've ever heard. It's so absurd that I can't even laugh at how stupid it is. I'm not even sure I believe you, but the nagging thought in the back of my head tells me that someone, somewhere out there, thought that was a good idea.
Most people, not just children, are inconsiderate, miles away from selfless, and just plain don't have the mental propensity to form constructive thoughts.
Issues like this go way beyond troubled adolescent children to pretty much all of society. (Whichever society that may be) I honestly can't think of an effective way to help that doesn't involve fire. I've tried being kind and considerate in the hopes that others will respond in kind, but often enough I just get stared down like I was some kind of freakin' pedophile. These mosquitoes are just the retard's way of dealing with the retarded and do nobody absolutely any good.
Problems such as these do nothing but reinforce my reclusive and introverted nature. People need to hold themselves to a higher standard, and hold others to it as well. Currently, so many people suffer from what I've heard termed as the bigotry of low expectations. If you see someone being rude and inconsiderate, find a way to let them know that they're being douchebags. I think you'll find that for the most part, they feel stupid and worthless when you inform them -- as they bloody well should.
So the phishers are trying to phish the phishers who are phishing for... what? (That's some quality writing, right there.)
Seriously, the article seems like something you'd see featured on the evening news as a scare tactic.
Reporter: Is your identity safe? It could be at risk and you don't even know it. Top researchers say there are hacker communities out there that will likely only continue to grow! Are you stupid enough to stay tuned until the end of our worthless program and find out?
Wait... Is this really even Slashdot? Why does my browser say http://it.slashd0t.org/? Son of a...

Jesus fucking Christ that's idiotic.
