Digital World-21: "That is no phone, that is my tracker"

I came across an article with the above caption, "That is no phone, that is my tracker" by Peter Maass and Megha Rajagopalan in theChennai edition of Deccan Chronicle dated July 18, 2012.  Originally published in The New York Times, I find it has been republished in the Deccan Chronicle and several other newspapers. Because of GPS technology and smartphone apps, what we buy, where and when; how much money we have in the bank; whom we text and email, what websites we visit, how and where we travel, what time we go to sleep and wake up, and more are taken note of by these devices.  Could be very useful in solving many crimes; but at the same time, a bit chilling is not it?

The article is worth reading.  I searched for it in the Net with a view to provide to link to those who want to read the full article and came up with the following link to the original article in The New York Times:

Digital World-19: Apple's Glory

I seem to be reading about Apple’s glory everywhere. There were two interesting articles in Slashgear.com by Rue Liu about Apple getting Two-Thirds of Mobile Phone Industry Profits and hint about Apple releasing its iPhone 5 in Sep 2011. Then there was this article by David Sarno about Apple having more cash balance than the US Govt in Los Angeles Times (LATimes.com). To be precise, the US Treasury has $ 74 billion and Apple $ 76 billion.


Congrats to Steve Job and Apple.
