Design patterns are now established. Probably people need to redesign less. So is it a bold new step, or is it a distraction from where the changes actually should be happening?
I mean, otherwise, there's a precedent for surveillance where we just sort of have to take Phorm's word for the idea that they're not tracking personal or private stuff. It seems particularly sinister to me.
Well unfortunately it's not that awesome, as it only seems to actually broadcast your location when you press a button, presumably as a consequence of being kidnapped or something. Fun though.

God, the five dollar bill is a monstrous horror of crap masquerading as a bank note. I don't know what they think they're doing. Having said all that, my current favourite is New Zealand's currency. Gorgeous.
