We  could do some neat shaping studies though ;-)

Subject: [tips] Creepy new mobile phone possibilities




Over the weekend I was reading about an iphone app that uses GPS determine when 
an alcoholic (who has the app on his phone) is near an area where there are a 
lot of bars. The app then pops up a warning on the phone's screen which 
suggests that the person avoid this area (and so avoid temptation). 

So is this next: a mobile phone app that “knows” the layout of your campus and 
the disciplines housed in each building such that when the student enters the 
psychology building, the phone could pop up homework reminders or a calendar of 
upcoming tests? 


Could get creepy though if your phone says, “I notice you’re in the library 
now. Here’s your reading list for that test on Monday...”.
