596: Latitude
| Latitude |
 Title text: The G1, especially with the new Android upgrade, is way better than I originally thought. |
[edit] Explanation
Black Hat made a mobile phone application to log and find addresses and business names for the locations of his friends using data from Google Latitude. His reason for this is that they use Latitude, but neglect to turn it off when engaging in "discreet" activities.
A table shows activity logs for two of Black Hat's friends: Megan and Robert (his log is partially cut off)
Robert's log is fairly innocuous: home at 12:30 PM, school at 2:00 PM and Subway at 3:30 PM. This log suggests that "Robert" is actually Little Bobby Tables.
Megan's log appears to prove Black Hat's point: home at 11:00 AM, a sex toy store at 12:30 PM, home at 1:30 PM, another sex toy store at 2:00 PM, home at 2:30 PM, Fry's Electronics at 3:00 PM, a power tool store at 3:30 PM, home at 4:00 PM and a hospital burn ward at 4:10 PM. This suggests that Megan was trying to please herself with sex toys from two different stores, then with power tools, causing burns in a "delicate" area.
The title text shows that Randall liked the T-Mobile G1 (also known as the HTC Dream) more than he previously thought.
