Have you ever noticed how there are all these shows on TV about the FBI and CIA as well as NCIS and CSI?  I want you to do something for me and watch one or all them with an ear open for the way they use the word Fed, Federal, Agent or Detective.  You will [...]

There seems to be a lot of buzz on the Internet about the concern for privacy with the new location based services on social networking services.  I think a lot of this is a little blown out of proportion.  Several months ago a service called Foursquare came on the scene where you could download applications [...]
