Feb 5 2009Get Your Stalk On With Google Maps Latitude
Want to know exactly where your "friends" are at all times? Well now you can, thanks to a Google Maps Mobile (and desktop) feature called Latitude. All you have to do is ask to borrow your "friend's" phone briefly, accept the invitation you discreetly send from your own, and presto: access their GPS coordinates at all times (note: stalkee must have a GPS enabled phone)! Simple as that. Not that I actually did that or anything. Ha, no that's not me in the bushes outside. Pfft, you think there's only one person in the whole world with a "GEEKOLOGIE WRITER" t-shirt? Get real. But seriously, isn't it time for you to slip into something a little more comfortable?

if only my Blackberry Curve could get a GPS signal without standing on the roof top of a 40 story building with the cellphone pointed up in the air with no clouds in sight.

I really do find this to be more frightening than fun
13. LSDiesel - February 5, 2009 6:52 PM
I meant to add threatening too.
'Where's Trevor right now?'
'Let's see, according to my phone, he is at home masturbating to reruns of "'The Andy Griffith Show".'

@ LSDiesel
No one needed this to know thats what you're doing.
....not that it stopped me from installing it.

Why would anybody be dumb enough to have GPS in their phone? And if they were that dumb, why would they be surprised if someone know where they were?
I still have my old Motorola analog, you know, the kind Zack Morris had on "Saved by the Bell"...
16. formerly SPELLINGNAZI© - February 5, 2009 8:02 PM
*knew where they were

I think it's official now. LSDiesel is gayer than Clay Aiken.

there is nothing more calming than knowing that anyone who touches my phone could potentially be out to virtua-rape me.
more than enough reason to carry more guns.

"My mom doesn't have a mobile, but i can still share my location with her via igoogle on her computer."
Now that's unique. A person with laptop but without a mobile.
Who wrote the script??

FAKE!!!!
This is a complete photoshop job, You can tell its a fake because the shadow's are all wrong.
This is exactly like that scene in the movie Never Back Down where Max and Baja were taking a car trip together.. Max had Baja navigating and got mad at her because the went 200 miles in the wrong direction before they noticed Baja had the map upside down. Then later Baja couldn't fold the map properly and didn't get him enough food when she ran into the burger place. This made Max examine whether he should go on a trip with her.

REAL!!!!!
You can tell this is real and not photoshopped because there are correct shadows.
This is like that scene in Geekologie where Daisy was a robot and people found out and reprogrammed her to not make fu-ck-tard comments on the comments sections so people can actually discuss the topic of the article

Sweeet! Finally I can keep track of my GF! I never know where she is maaan, it's like she's running away from me or something. No more! Google is here to save me, btw, is there any chance to arange for the Googlemobile to run my GF over? I figured being rendered dead would stop her from running from me and I figure having a dead GF is better than having no GF at all. Expect only the best from Google!
