gorrit Posted June 7, 2006 Posted June 7, 2006 wired article I don't want people to access to that shit, and I espcially don't want a shopping mall that tracks people around the mall by tapping into their mobile phone connection signals. And radio blogging? B***ocks. Radio receivers are easy. Without transmitters and free airwaves (which are all government regulated or we'd be awash with jammed signals) you can't blog over radio.
