    Another obvious use for this would be to track not just kids...

    Drop this in a purse... hide it in a jacket... attach it to any car...

    The possibilities are endless. #littlebuddy

    I'm most likely gonna get raged at when I post this, but why don't we just use those same gps chips that we put in our dogs, and just put them in our children.. it's been argued that it's inhumane, but I'd rather my child be safe than be sorry afterward. #littlebuddy

    @kqboing1: What "GPS" chips? You mean the RFID chips which require a special reader to retrieve the code stored onboard, which is then cross refrenced with a list of registered users? #littlebuddy

    The stoopid thing about all these GPS tracking tools and apps (iStoopid included) is that GPS requires a view of the sky?!? So, if you'r kid is jammed in that back of some predators van, this thing ain't helpin' anyone. #littlebuddy

    It's probably cheaper to get your kid a cellphone with a parent-child tracking app built in. #littlebuddy

    For added fun you could even hide when you see them coming...

    Seriously though does that image say "accuracy 378 yards"? So little Timmy is lost somewhere in that 112,200 square yard circle covering a few city blocks. Good luck finding Timmy!

    I love going into Best Buy and inverting all the colors on the Macs then sitting by to watch the Apple "experts" try to figure out how to get them back to normal.

    @jiveabillion: Either A) it's so simple a tinker that a floor person can rectify it quickly, or B) it can cause considerable trouble for a floor person by the manager because it's so troublesome an alteration.


    Either way, it's lame, and not funny.
