Scary stuff

This is Scary stuff: Mapamobile is a UK service which allows you to get the location of any mobile phone. Of course, you have to agree you've told the owner of the phone you're doing it, so actually it's quite safe. It's certainly a good reason (a) to not have a mobile phone at all and (b) switch it off as much as possible. When I first got my (werk) phone, I used to turn it off all the time because it didn't have a keylock or vibrate mode, so wasn't good for carrying or having whilst listening to a walkman. Nowadays, I hardly turn it off. Not that I'm deluged by calls, but I suspect I'll be a bit more difficult to get hold of from now on...
