interesting article, lots of angles to consider and insightful examples for use cases.
We have had an app release by our government in Australia which have some people in a fit about privacy. It seems a bit unfounded here though as the code is open source, it runs off bluetooth rather than GPS and only has the most basic of information input to run.
