By now everyone should have figured out why they are tracking your phone, and why it is so important to them. Your location means opportunities to direct location-oriented ads and coupons to your phone. The suggestion of a sale at a particular store (while you pass it) or a juicy burger at a restaurant (within walking distance) or getting you to park at a particular location so that you walk past a particular store's window, can prove very valuable to them. As soon as the general user public realizes that smart phones are not specifically designed to make their lives better, but instead to make $$$ for their maker and carrier, then the real issues will begin.
The room was full of pregnant women and their partners, and the Lamaze class was in full swing. The instructor was teaching the women how to breathe properly, along with informing the men how to give the necessary assurances at this stage of the plan.

An Englishman went to Spain on a fishing trip. He hired a Spanish guide to help him find the best fishing spots. Since the Englishman was learning Spanish, he asked the guide to speak to him in Spanish and to correct any mistakes of usage. They were hiking on a mountain trail when a very large, purple and blue fly crossed their path. The Englishmen pointed at the insect with his fishing rod, and said, "Mira el mosca!" The guide, sensing a teaching opportunity, replied, "No, senor, 'la mosca'... es feminina."
The Englishman looked at him, then back at the fly, and then said, "Good heavens... you must have incredibly good eyesight."
