Egypt frees consumers from burden of GPS
Look, folks, I know that some might think our proud nation is the only one out there really moving technology forward, but sometimes we’ve got to give a tip of our flaps to other quasi-independent sectors out there making a difference. That’s why I’ve nothing but kudos for the Egyptian government’s choice to pass “Telecoms Law 10/2003″, which in part bans the use of GPS in commercial products. Now I know we all want the best services available, but we live in perilous times, and it’s comforting to know there are people out there vigilant of the dangers that can occur when technology gets in the wrong hands. (I’m starting to wonder about the hands that installed my umbilical this morning. It’s starting to itch.)
The ban will not affect Informercians for the following reasons: our engineers obviated the need for GPS decades ago with our patented SpookyActive™ location function that pairs the spin of every atom in your products with a corresponding mirror object tied to a positional databaseblock deep within a fortified Minimance; also, travel to Egypt (or any other country) is currently restricted due to threat of disease and/or war.
