Just the other day, I was with my boss, and he decided to check up on his wife's whereabouts, to see what she was doing. So he pulled his iPhone out of his pocket, and opened up a map which showed her en route to dropping their kids off at school. I was just surprised at how intrusive and surveillance-oriented the whole smartphone thing can be. This will become the new way for everyone to keep tabs on everyone else. I'm sure there's going to be some negative fallout from it.

Dude, that story is f**ked up! This is truly horrifying. People are one step away from using this stuff for very malicious reasons.
