For Liars and Loafers, Cellphones Offer an Alibi By MATT RICHTEL
Eventually the cellphones will be able to tell another phone approx where they are. Remember the 911-locator fascism?
I hate to break the news to you Major, but GPS enabled phones cannot be instructed to turn off the GPS feature for law enforcement queries (e.g., 911). Turn it on or turn it off, makes no matter.
I wouldn't be surprised if DoCoMo wasn't working on it now..
