Just wait till some disgruntled college student uses this system to effectively wipe out a club full of trendy young people in one or more bars. Real time knowledge of where everyone is.
Is this news? Why do stories like this even make it on/.? This is the nerd equivalent of celebrity watch on the evening news.
If I make a video about a robot that wipes my ass for me and hums a jaunty toon, will that get posted here too?
Maybe not. Since they didn't give the judge time to rule on it there's no legal precedent set and they can bring the same suit against someone else tomorrow if they so choose. They'll probably keep doing that too, until everyone's either paid settlement money or learned that they don't have to.
You really missed the sarcasm there. I was laying it on pretty thick too.
I appreciate the fact Apple will pay private developers 70% of the digital distribution proceeds, however, with the advancement of Android, and an entire plethora of next gen hand sets, I think Apple might be shooting itself in the foot.
This is the same strategy that made Apple, the once even competitor with windows, now dominate less than 5% of the market share. Pretty soon, anyone will be able to download Android and install it on any mobile device hardware, and use any data plan they like. Screw the exclusive AT&T plans, Android will revolutionize the global G3 marketplace. And, in addition to all of that, Android will be FREE.

Logical Fallacy. You can't possibly know how to treat cancer unless you've had it.
