oschobero writes "According an article from the Times, customers in shopping centers are having their every move tracked. Via your cellphone the system can tell when people enter the center, how long do they stay in one particular shop or what route does the customer take. The system works by monitoring the signals produced by mobile handsets and then locating the phone by triangulation."
