GPS gadgets can reveal more than your location

Here's a scary thought. Researchers at Microsoft are developing new ways for GPS gadgets to know - not only where you are - but what you are doing too.

According to New Scientist, "the researchers say such new uses of the technology could help people analyse and improve their own lifestyles, and share useful data with others.

Phones and other gadgets with GPS capabilities built in are becoming ubiquitous. But they are typically used for little more than revealing a person's current whereabouts on a map."
