Ayn Rand fan literally writes on the globe to show his devotion
You know those crop circles that you hear about? One theory is that aliens are really trying to write on our landscapes in their own language.
Now why would aliens do that, when this man, Nick Newcomen, just scrawled out a message on planet Earth in a human language. You can read it in the photo.
Newcomen drove for 30 days, through 30 states, for a grand total of 12,238 miles. He had a Qstarz BT-Q1000X as the medium for his message, and it can only seen with Google Earth with the recorded GPS device data.

Skyhook Wireless works with Samsung
Skyhook Wireless might not be familiar to some of you out there, so here’s a little bit of nitty gritty on it – it is a provider of the Core Location Platform, where the company recently announced that Samsung will deploy Skyhook’s technology across multiple Samsung mobile devices. Skyhook has chosen the Samsung Wave (also known as the S8500) to be the first handset to roll out with its Skyhook service. Of course, we do hope that the Wave will not be the last phone to do so, as this is one of the first few bada-powered open mobile platform phones to arrive in the market at the moment. The addition of Skyhook on Samsung devices like the Wave results in an all location-aware application which offers the most precise, reliable, and fastest location information available.

GPS Tracker Phone for Kids
Keeping track of your little ones can get quite challenging in this day and age, especially when you are a busy parent who has tons to juggle, unlike the older days where there weren’t that many distractions. If you happen to bring your kids out often, the GPS Tracker Phone for Kids could just be the thing for you. This is a back-to-basic cellphone that targets not only children but seniors as well, relying on the latest GPS tracking technology. It allows one to make phone calls only when needed, where you can program 5 preset numbers within including 1 emergency SOS number, and there is no worry of Internet predators targeting children since this has no text messaging or Internet surfing capability. Inside lies a GPS tracker that lets you keep track of its real time position by sending a text message to the tracker phone anytime required. You can also set a geo-fence zone to prevent your little ones from venturing beyond a certain area by being alerted. Of course, nothing beats due diligence on a parent’s part, but sometimes technology to the tune of $135 does help.
