On a recent trip I just used a Garmin and it was really bad (if I had to hear “re-cal-cu-lating” one more time I was going to scream…… it kept telling me I was 40 miles away from the airport when I was right in front of it.

Are there any new services out there which aren’t reaping scary amounts of private data? I’ve felt like a tin foil hat on here lately, but just look at your recent highlights: Google TV Ads, TomTom using Vodafone data, etc.

One question: Does this mean that Vodafone has already been silently logging our location history; ya know, that thing collective consciousness (thanks to the Bible) seems to be anticipating only when RFID chips are under our skin? And is that common practice among cell phone networks?

Kind of relieved my Vodafone died 6 months ago. No wonder the guy in that video seems nervous. He’s seen behind the curtain :).
