Assuming WiFi connectivity becomes widespread, I can see Google Maps printing money with this thing too. (If there's no WiFi available, but a cellular tower is within range, Cingular might be able to print money for the data shuffled back and forth while running an application like Google Maps.)
Biggest loser might be GPS device makers: Why spend $500 for a portable GPS unit when you can have the same thing (and get the "killer app" of Google-searchable maps, plus the nice bonus of satellite imagery, which can't be done on a portable GPS unit) in your phone for the same price?
I can also see a nice automotive aftermarket opportunity here. One of these things mounted on the dash, or in an aftermarket console/tray, would be an ergonomic (read: safer) way to do aftermarket GPS.

And since I didn't close those quotes properly, let's try that again.
The first link in my quoting of the Greenberg comments was supposed to refer to the
...which was the legislation that contained CALEA, the legal wedge through which the present (omnipresent?:) surveillance infrastructure has been driven over the past twelve years and three Presidential administrations.
The Clipper Chip FIPS (Federal Information Processing Standard)
Obscenity prosecutions of BBSs
Media hysteria about e-mail stalking and the threat to children on the Internet
Prediction:
There will be a concerted effort by the U.S. Congress to regulate content on the Internet.
And as a reminder for those of you who got your hopes up in November of 2006 -- you might want to look at who was President in 1994. Hint: His last name wasn't "Bush".

...or toilet seat, yo-yo, and Windows server, for that matter.

"Downloaded"? You mean this is an application? Bogometer pegged. Spyware sensor into the red.

When you are ready to make a purchase on a website that accepts MasterCard, a notifier appears asking if you'd like to pay with PayPal Virtual Debit Card. You can click on the notifier to use PayPal Virtual Debit Card, and you can also always access PayPal Virtual Debit Card from the icons located on your browser's toolbar and system task tray.
Ah, it's not just a separate application, it's an (IE-only, presumably) Browser Helper Object and/or background service. Not only is the bogometer needle is bent, but the spyware sensor is on fire, and I'm reaching for my wallet, where my small fistful of weathered Federal Reserve Notes is looking mighty comfortable right about now.
Even by PayPal's standards, this is looking like a galactic-central-black-hole-through-buckytubes pile of suck.
> I don't have to...you know...take pictures of squirrels or pigeons to get a hold of this exploit do I?
Nope, just contact the Uplink Corporation, and be sure to break the chain of logs that connect your gateway's activity to the target machines before the passive trace gets you. (It helps to have root on at least one of the chain of proxies you're bouncing your connection through.)

I heard of a pretty cool open source product called Firefox. Someone wrote a flight simulator plugin for it, and it's pretty good, but you have to think in Russian.

If you'd spent more time... entertaining yourself more traditionally, you wouldn't have kids, and you'd still have time for gaming.

Not necessarily. If you get the perfect score, you get hired into the voigtkampf-beta.google.com programme.
What they don't tell you is that you get hired as an interviewer. The light that burns twice as bright, burns only until it asks about your mother.
I dunno. Kenny Greenberg's comments seemed to hit pretty hard:
