This is the continuing battle of convenience versus privacy. We want things convenient until suddenly you realize that "OK Google" and "Hey Siri" and now "Alexa" are listening to you all day and all night (even when you talk in your sleep) just to make sure that they catch the one time you call them.
Tim Cook proudly announces Apple introduction of "Apple Global Positioning System" (iGPS), allowing iPhone, iPad, and MacOS devices to assist you in your daily travels by tracking your location and providing you with that information in near realtime. iGPS will be available on Apple devices starting with iOS10.2.
Mr. Cook said in the presentation, "This is the first time anyone has been able to accurately locate a device like this. We see this technology revolutionizing travel and finally breaking the dependence on outdated paper maps."
In unrelated news, Apple is filing lawsuits against several companies and the US Government for patent infringement.
This is an interesting point. Almost a century ago, Henry Ford sold almost all of the cars owned in America, and they were all black. There were other cars, but They were more expensive. Then as time went on, there were other manufacturers, then other colors. now, you can get almost anything you want in a car. Computers evolve faster than cars, but we are only 15 years into the PC era. Windows is the Model T.
There once were three Native American women. All three were pregnant. The first slept on a deer skin, the second on a bear skin, and the last on a hippopotamus skin.
One night, all three gave birth. The first had a strong baby boy. The second also had a baby boy. The third had twin boys.
This just goes to prove that the squaw of the hippopotamus is equal to sons of the squaws of the other two hides.
