“… because of its habit of reporting back to headquarters.” – Bryan

Are current smartphones any better? Josh Marshall seemed shocked (several years ago) when he used an app that displayed his various paths along the DC-NYC route; I’d have been more surprised if they were NOT complete and accurate.

Anyone who watches the location of my phone these days has a really boring job…
