Combine this with that realy realy small japanese phone or better yet a tiny waterproof gsm pager and use the energy people or animals generate while walking to power a micro implantable tracking device so small that the victim would not even kno he was "infected". This could be good like in cat and dog collars but it could take a nasty big brotherish turn. Even without a clear gps signal you could triangulate the wireless signals from the pager/cellphone and combined with gps you would never be lost not even in mountaneous terrain or indoors. This has huge potential for good or evil.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[crzyjamaican46]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 12th 2006 11:15PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on New Zealand&#039;s Rakon develops world&#039;s smallest GPS receiver]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/12/new-zealands-rakon-develops-worlds-smallest-gps-receiver/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/12/new-zealands-rakon-develops-worlds-smallest-gps-receiver/</guid><description><![CDATA[mmm, implants]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[felix]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 12th 2006 11:23PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on New Zealand&#039;s Rakon develops world&#039;s smallest GPS receiver]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/12/new-zealands-rakon-develops-worlds-smallest-gps-receiver/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/12/new-zealands-rakon-develops-worlds-smallest-gps-receiver/</guid><description><![CDATA[I just lost my lovely Scooter a a week ago and I can't stop thinking when these things is going to be available for afordable price to put them on anything you want and never lose anything in your life again.<br><br><br><br>I whish login somwehre on the website and jsut track each thing which I gave this device.<br><br><br><br>I can't understund why nobody is trying to make it available for everybody.
