Your Cell Phone = My Profit

Who needs GPS? Cellphones provide traffic map


When cellular phones are searching for reception, they send "pings" or electronic signals that can be picked up by as many as six cellphone towers. The company said the new technology records these pings and uses them to create a three-dimensional map of where the signals originated.

It then discards those signals — based on speed and movement patterns — that appear to be coming from pedestrians and stationary mobile users.


Congradulations.
Big brother is watching you. Wherever you go, your cell phone is being tracked. And that information is being sold to any fool with a few coins in his pocket that thinks he can turn a profit from it.

So what do I have out there that they're selling without my permission ?
My email Address.
My credit card number and bank information. (Dell Sold it to Sympatico)
The location and ip address of my wireless router.
The location of my cell phone.
Anything you purchase that has a mail in rebate (You never get the rebate, but they keep all the information on file and sell it !)
Where ever you surf on the internet (google desk top)
Anytime you buy something online .. all that info is sold. Credit card too.

So when does it stop you ask ?
It doesn't. The sales people are very happy about this situation, and in fact they want more and more and more. They fully intend to increase their surveillence of you , ratchetting up the pressure paying of MP's to weaken privacy laws etc etc, so that they can make more money from you. Targetting sales, they like to call it.
