Apple and Google are sued on separate occasions for the alleged location tracking.
Meanwhile, Tom Tom’s GPS data is being used to target speeders in Netherlands.
At least Windows Phone 7 does not store location data on the phone. They are collecting it on the fly.
Why are these companies tracking me? Before I finish my thought, I should check-in on Foursquare, Gowalla, Facebook Places, Google Latitude, … and geotagging this post.
For those who are expecting an uncensored version of South Park: The Complete Fourteenth Season might be disappointed.
First, you would instantly noticed that the packaging did not say “Uncensored” anywhere on the packaging. South Park: The Complete Eleventh Season was the first to be released uncensored. Both Twelfth and Thirteenth Season DVD and Blu-Ray were also uncensored. So, what about the Fourteenth Season?
Second, there’s a sticker that said “Includes All Episodes!” on the Complete Fourteenth Season packaging. Fans are concerned that both episode “200” and “201” would not be included in the set. As a matter of fact both episode “200” and “201” are still not available on iTunes Store and Amazon Instant Download. Well, “All Episodes” are included but Episode “201” is heavily censored just like the broadcast version. Adding insult to the injury, the commentary by Trey Parker and Matt Stone is also censored with long beeps. According to PArker and Stone, Comedy Central is the one behind the censorship and might not release the Complete Season if Episode “201” was uncensored.
Sometimes I wonder if I could read the captcha in plain Alphabet, let alone something in Greek Alphabet.

Bet YouTube has a “perfect” explanation for this.

Parrots and Apes,
Too harsh?
Microsoft is on the offensive, suing Barnes & Noble, Foxconn International and Inventec over Android-based Nook e-reader. It’s not the first time Microsoft asserts that Android is violating its patents. It’s the same old song and dance.
Is Google on vacation?
