statistically 90% of the first time users will pick up their home location - what the rest is after can be estimated by examining their previous search behaviour...

You know what, I read somewhere that terrosrists can use it in case they plan an attack.. I think this great technology is scary.

terrorists can ram your house with a car. you can ram them with your chair.. there's terror everywhere!

tried google earth.. pretty cool how they have a GPS based forum where you can leave other messages as a "flag" on the maps.. has anyone tried it?

curiosity drove me on their site eventually...
You'll have to install an application to access their 'atlas'

no, I'm not paranoid at all

you will NOT know what's coded in this thing and you will NOT be aware when they check your record - you're already having a google network connection on a regular daily base, don't you ?

it's the giga trojan of the century - and the latter has only just begun

sorry for spoiling the party, Tom
ps: in fact I'm not worried at all, I just find it amuzing - from various angles
