Adieu, Privacy. But for reals this time. Seriously.

Google Maps are now integrated with the mobile tower for wherever you happen to be. I.e., out of the subway on 57th and 7th? Google will ping the closest cell tower, and your maps program on your Berry will have a blue dot. Keep in mind - This is withOUT GPS.

We’re all just blue dots, floating in the wind.

Even though this is scary, it’s still really freaking awesome.

Wow.
