More on the Latitude storm in a teacup.

As a follow up to my polemic about Privacy International's noise making on the Google Latitude issue, when are they going to make a fuss about Tom Tom and Fireeagle. Where are the scaremongering suggestions that people will install software on your sat-nav if you leave it on the table in the pub? Or that you'll be given a poised chalice GPS unit by friends, family or work in order to spy on your every move?

The prospect is just as scary as it is for phones and latitude i.e. not at all.

It's an intriguing hypothesis, and I imagine it'll pique the curiosity of demographers and crime statisticians, especially if you broaden the topic and compare rates of such offenses across a range of different legal frameworks for gun ownership. However, given Dizzy's original comparison between us and the United States of America, I would like to suggest that while gun ownership in this country may make me feel safer from muggings, it will certainly make me worry much more about having my fucking head blown off!Thank you for sharing your knowledge! Keep up the good job! Continue to spread the word. Please take a peek at my website best family court lawyers near me.
