A look back on popular stories from today in a specific year.

cool, now if only I could get my keys to answer when I whistle...
Five days to recharge. Gotta remember to recharge puppy.
This looks cool, how accurate is it? I'm always trying to keep track of our family, between soccer practice, gymnastics, it would be nice to know they're where they're supposed to be - that way my wife and I don't have to bother them all the time to check in. My son is about to start driving, and for us , this could give us real peace of mind without seeming over bearing.
Are you serious?
Gotta love big brother parents.
ATTN: People who post about Big Brother
Why is it every time someone posts how they would like to use a device like this to track their kids we have people making negative comments. I assume these people may not have kids or cannot see someone elses opinion as valid to why they would use one of these.
As one example... Being a person taking care of a 6 year old who has a mother with "issues" I would use one of these for peace of mind when she is with her mother. Sure I'd prefer she has supervised visits but that is a decision of the court.
So scream Big Brother, helicopter parents, etc...
When the damn dog runs away, I want the thing to shriek like a banshee not force me to go get my GPS and go geocache for the critter.
10 bucks a month - that's friggin crazy. How often does your dog run away?
You are parked in N4020.513 W07437.703
Doesn't make much sense to me why the car version costs more than the one that needs to be (somewhat) weather proof.
As for your kid- chances are his cell probably has that capability already.
I've had some dealings with the company zoombak - they're a pretty untrustworthy bunch.
I would buy anything from this bunch of snake oil salesmen.
How have you dealt with them before? They've only been in business less than a year, and this is the first product from them, and the company that owns them has never made a consumer product. Way to troll though.
$9.99 a month isn't much but when you keep adding small amounts like this, MMO's, etc... they start adding up and pretty soon you've got too many monkeys on your back. I'd rather see this thing sell for five bones and have no subscription.
that's v. cool

$10/month? Holy shit, that's expensive.
not a troll - god forbid anyone relate their own experiences and get flamed!
Suffice it to say - they have some excellent products buy the individuals I've dealt with weren't very professional.
This is me calling BS! Like I said, this is their first product, ever. And their parent company has only sold products to Wireless CARRIERS before, not consumers. So did you buy a ZoomBak? What was your experience with them? Did you have to call theme for support?
