I have started this blog to keep track of all the interesting stuff I read about. In some cases, friends of mine have shared their cool stuff with me. I try to keep the headlines and descriptions short, so you must follow the links to read and decide for yourself if a topic is worth your time. Want to contribute? Just comment on any of the stories and I will be notified instantly.
FREE software download turns any WiFi enabled laptop into a 'GPS.' What r the benefits? Well all your searches can be customized to your location atuomatically b/c it knows your exact location at all times. Say u r lost at some city and don't even know where u r at. It will map your location. Now search for a chinese restaurant. It maps all nearby chinese restaurants with full directions to get there.. Even if u don't have WiFi, u can specify your address and u get all the benefits as well.

Taxicab drivers have a GPS device in their cabs that relates the cab's location back to a computer dispatcher. This device and its service costs lots of money. Now there's the possibility of replacing this device with a WiFi enable d laptop that uses Loki to relate the same info back to a computer dispatcher. If so, u just eliminated the monthly service costs for the GPS.
