a looking-glass book

is that cell phone tower watching me?

also from slashdot today:

An anonymous reader writes "Cell phone networks, FM radio towers and television antennaes could all turn into pieces of cheap and dirty tracking networks that use passive radar, according to this fairly comprehensive article. These new systems are only a couple years away from roll out for uses such as small airport radar coverage but wild possibilities abound including using cell phone networks to track speeders, terrorists or even individuals walking on city streets."

now we are talking. a couple of years away makes it seem like needing gps in the phone will be moot by then. looks like we better start plowing ahead faster, boys.
