What would a company that tracks peoples usage on cell phones stand to gain from it besides monitoring for security reasons? For marketing purposes? I'm a little confused why that company would care what we google etc.

Google monitors more than you would ever think! lol

Directed ads, buying habits, listening habits, errors in the software your phone runs on, cellular service, etc

explains a lot how google uses your info..

I've heard about Google doing that before and understand why. I guess I just don't get why a company would be interested in what I'm texting people. Aside from marketing reasons. I guess it could be fairly useful in that regard.

That's the big deal that video ^ was about, we don't know what they're doing with it, we never agreed to it, and they're doing it without us knowing.

Hooray for google's Gmail phone.

I was able to order some transmission parts very quickly. And hooray for small businesses where you actually talk with the owner

Yessir. About the same. I traveled to Sturgis today and they got it a lot worse.

Jealous of you guys we got nothing here in Houghton. Ours all melted over thanksgiving

[Luke.H 33]

We got a light flurry here, but my dad was in Indiana about 4 hours away yesterday and said they got around 5 inches.

[S.DeYoung 967]

The snow was nice. I have been waiting for it. I didn't appreciate the ice chunks failing from trees and power lines all day

Did he just power slide a 777?

Actually I believe they are able to rotate the landing gear a few degrees, because the aircraft is so large the wind knocks it off course during landing if there is a sidewind.

Technical term for it is crabbing. Here's the wiki page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crosswind_landing#Crab

Direct marketing is big business

That's what I was thinking. I've heard that male college students in their 20s are one of the toughest groups to market to as well and large number of people in that demographic own smartphones so I can see the marketing value.

I'm assuming the speed limit's 65. Would cops normally stop you at that speed? I pass them frequently at 75 and haven't been stopped. That's the average speed for most people on our interstates.

About 52 here but windy as shit like 30-35 mph out on the flight line

Speed limit's 70; I came up on him, he was doing maybe 65, and he pulls over to the shoulder sticks his hand out and waves me on.

Strangely enough Cop Killer was playing on the radio when I got back into my car on the drive home...
