....so in 2020 or so we'll learn that Harrison Ford has been a replicant all along.
Who knew the geolocation and ID based advertising in Blade Runner would happen like it has. 
2019 is right around the corner.

Yeah...I don't really use the internet for my own purposes anymore. Not since I was like 20. 
Now it's just a job.
I'm not really up to date on this facetweeting and foursqueefing and geolocating nonsense.
Google started doing this like 10 years ago, how are technology people so far behind =P

    Based on the wifi access points near you.
    When a cell phone sees a wifi network it reports back to a
    mothership the GPS coordinates. When your laptop sees the access
    point the mothership tells it where you are.  Scary eh ;)

        I made the plunge the other night to 10, its pretty cool.
        Im concerned however that when it asked to use my location
        its right near me, on a laptop, not phone, no gps and a clean
        install. How is it getting this info?
