    meh not a big deal they been able to track us by cell phones for a few years now.

    My phone even has an assisted GPS chip in it, Granted i just fucked up the radio ROM on it so it's a bit disabled.

    Allow me to register my 'meh' too. If only for battery consumption I only turn my Bluetooth on when I'm specifically using a Bluetooth device with it. And that would be my TomTom in my car.

    Since I crashed my car, and am left with no transport, I'm noticing a trend not to use Sat Nav so much ;)

    And of course there are techniques by which your phone can be hacked and used as an audio/video bug.

    I'm getting terribly pissed off with being constantly spied upon by the grey men. Who is watching them? :PGT:

    I can only assume such roles are filled by filthy perverts in flasher macs and middle aged men with voyeuristic tendencies.

    No point in getting worked up about something that you have no control over.

    Been tracked by bluetooth is a very minor thing, if you want something to get worked up over read this.

    You would think they would be a little more worried about it being used to turn them into cybermen.

    Gone is the day when the Englishman would say "We shall fight them on the beaches. We shall fight them in the streets..."

    Now the Englishman would say ":shrug: It's out of my hands.:clyde:"
