Anyone see the irony in an internet user saying that ? I do.

Wow, that sucks hugely. There's no privacy anymore!!

Not exactly a massive leap in technology is it ? It's already possible to pinpoint the location of a mobile phone that's being used, with the right equipment.

All this is is a commercialisation of that technology, and one which will rely on people buying yet another new phone anyway.

It's not even worthy of any conspiracy theory or even any concern at all, really.

I wonder, how many of those concerned about this, also have a PC with no firewall software or up to date anti-virus software, or simple passwords online ? It'll be a hell of a lot more people than are likely to buy these new phones.

I've got it, send me £50 or I send it to you piece by piece.

*glances at hash key*

They can track mine if they'd like to try - don't know where I left it last.

Does no phone = no self opinion then?
Does that mean I don't exist?

"The type of handset you own, the fascia you choose for it, the ringtone, even how quickly you answer it are good clues to how you think of yourself."

A crap, second-hand five year old phone with no fascia or ringtone that never rings and is barely used for anything but abusive text messages. This is what I think of myself?

Paging (or texting) Dr. Freud!

Hehe.

Cool.

*Turns off mobile*

I'm screwed!
