How far away from the restaurant is your ever-tardy husband? New Google mobile phone software lets you find out, as long as he's sharing.

Sheesh people, how stupid can you get. Yup, we want the biggest company on the planet keeping tabs on people. Yup, that sounds great. Fantastic.; Like this Reply to this comment

Why was my first thought when reading this article "1984"?

At least until now I was an only child. Now I have a Big Brother!; Like this Reply to this comment

by mykick22 March 5, 2009 1:54 AM PST: LOL! Why is everyone affraid of this?? If you don't want to use it the article CLEARLY states that you HAVE to enable it yourself. If you DO enable it you can CONTROL what people see and what they don't. LIke someone up there said if your worrying about the government coming to track you down...they already can. On a side note, why are ALL of you worried about that in the first place? it's only an invasion of privacy if your dumb enough to install it, agree to it, and then BROADCAST the information yourself. I don't see how this could EVER be intrusive since your the one WHO HAS TO AGREE AND INSTALL IT, and then PUT YOUR INFORMATION ON IT!!!!; Like this Reply to this comment
