A BRITISH outfit wants parents to strap a GPS receiver onto their rug rats to prevent them losing their precious little snowflakes

lok8u (locate you... see what they did there?) has started to peddle its GPS Child Locator, or num8 which attaches securely to a child's wrist and contains a transmitter.

It can find your child or teen, or wayward husband with an accuracy of 10 feet which means you can find out who is using the bathroom. If the kid takes the strap off, it sends an emergency message home and tells you where the little perisher ditched the technology. µ

Heres' Old Solution: Bark,bark....seem to have narrowed it down to a labradoodle or a Portuguese water hound … [a] medium-sized dog, so we're now going to start looking at shelters to see when one of those dogs might come up," Barack Obama told ABC News' George Stephanopoulos on 'This Week.'
"We're closing in on it," Obama said, adding, "This has been tougher than finding a commerce secretary." Yeah, Maybe GPS Could Certify Surgeon General.Layla Kalonnie OUR Botnist. Drashek

Authorities in several countries raided Megaupload recently, shut down all of its services, seized hundreds of servers and arrested several of its executives on criminal charges.

Do you think the move was justified?
