...screen, she's craftier than Lara Croft. She spies on her beau, narrow-eyed, everywhere he goes, using a little handheld device that looks suspiciously like the latest Nokia handset. He can't hide. He definitely can't escape. Big Sistah is watching. And Big Sistah's got a GPS receiver...
...threat is far greater from a suitcase bomb than from someone launching an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM). It's a lot easier, for example, to sail a boat to 200 miles off America's shores and then launch a nuclear tipped cruise missile flying below the radar, using a GPS (global positioning system) for guidance - and the missile defense scheme would not cover that threat. Why would anyone go to all the trouble and expense of building an ICBM when such a scenario would be cheaper, more accurate, and less traceable...

By the end of the year, many carriers may be offering unified audio messaging (Would you like to hear your e-mail, voice mail or faxes?) or enhanced directory assistance (Driving directions to the nearest Home Depot, anyone?). With the help of location-sensing technology like embedded gps chips in cell phones, you won't even have to explain where...
...Joint Stand Off Weapon, which is guided by a high-tech global positioning system (GPS) can be launched as far away as 120 miles from its target, and in ideal conditions detonates within a few yards of its "aim point." That was obviously not the case during last week's bombings, and the Navy is currently investigating the data input and tracking systems on the weapons, in hopes of pinpointing the problem...

That's because it will carry a global-positioning-system transmitter, the same satellite technology that keeps motorists from getting lost. Although Pentagon documents say GPS data will help guide the interceptor during test flights, program officials say the data will be used only if other methods fail. Any use of GPS data, says Coyle, "does not suitably stress the system in a realistic enough manner to support acquisition decisions...
