Live Track Any UK GSM Cellphone

World Tracker turns anyone into a cellphone spy - Engadget

A UK service called World Tracker apparently uses cell tower data (or GPS, when available) to track the location of just about any GSM cellphone. Just enter the number you want to track into the service's handy Google Maps-based interface, and you'll be able to zoom in on the device's location, with accuracy somewhere between 50 and 500 meters.

Geocaches New AntiTerrorism Target

CNN.com - Geocaching�puts authorities on edge - Jan 17, 2006

Well, geocachers, you know the country has changed when you have to start watching out for snipers as you place or hunt for caches.

CNN has an article (above link) on how geocaches and "suspicious" folks with GPS units are being tagged as possible terrorists planting suspicious packages. The article cites several incidents where geocachers were met with police and caches blown up because of their suspiciousness.

To be fair, some of these cited locations were at or near airports, bridges and other locations where most folks up the on news might logically shy away from.

Geocaching.com does have a small notice in their guide to placing caches that reminds folks to keep their caches out of areas that might be suspicious.

Please use common sense when choosing a location for your cache. Do not place your cache in any location where it might be confused with something more dangerous.

Happy hunting! And, I guess, don't find yourself being hunted ;)

World’s Smallest GPS Receiver

:: World’s Smallest GPS Receiver ::

Rakon, a 39-year-old New Zealand-based company, has developed the world’s smallest GPS receiver. Claimed to be as tiny as the size of a baby’s fingernail, the GPS receiver chip is small enough to be fitted into devices such as watches and cellphones. As GPS becomes commonplace in our everyday gadgets, we can be sure that things will get a little more interesting.

Brent Robinson, Rakon’s Managing Director, also mentioned that the GPS receiver will have sensitivity good enough to pick up weak signals, perfect for urban environments with high interference.
