Google aims to track users with wi-fi
From MS-NBC:

Google aims to be able to track its users to within 100-200 feet of their location through new wireless networks in order to serve them with relevant advertising from local businesses.


"Let me send geographically relevant advertising to you, Dave."

1. I think this is one of those things that won't work very well.
I mean, I live in a red part of Arkansas, but that doesn't mean that I am going to like to see the same stuff as others in this area... doesn't make sense.

2. Do you think they want you to like it?
come on, you're not supposed to like it. It's advertising. spam. bombardment.

3. "Your location is relevant. It's always been relevant, Dave."
"Your error in judgment can only be attributable to human error."
