How To Use Your iPhone To GPS Track Someone's Location

Submitted by hubby on Sun, 08/15/2010 - 5:39pm

Did you know that your iPhone can be used as a real-time GPS location-tracking device, giving the (near) exact location of the phone (or the car, or purse that it is in) in near-real time? You can watch on your PC or Mac as the location is pinpointed on a map, and updated every several seconds, accurately to within just a few feet! The person holding the phone doesn't even have to do anything, and won't even know they are being tracked.

Happy Birthday ATM

News and Current Events

I still remember the first ATMs that went into operation on this day in 1989 (September 2,1989)

They took any bank card they gave $1,$5,$10,$20,$50,and $100 bills and even gave change

YOu could also deposit into your bank account,no matter which bank,though there was a 2 to 3 day wait before posting as the ATM company had to deliver the money to the proper bank

It was only later that Banks started to own the ATMs and only more recently that independent ATMs are starting to come back

Myspace (General)

I've created a Myspace page, but neither I nor my friends can search me out. it's set to public and not private. So, what could be the problem? Any help would be appreciated. P.S. I can be found under people, but not under Myspace.

All Other Social Communities And Websites

When I tried to check my IP address from different websites like http://www.whatismyip.com/ , http://www.tracemyip.org/ and http://ip-address.domaintools.com/, I got different IPs. My IPs are shown as xxx.xx.64.76, xxx.xx.64.73 and xxx.xx.64.75 respectively. Why are they different? Can anybody tell me why?
