From the T-shirt maker SlightlyWrong:
I bet some people will literally stop you on the street to yell at you about your Tshirt if you wear these.

"We are not provided with wisdom, we must discover it for ourselves, after a journey through the wilderness which no one else can take for us, an effort which no one can spare us, for our wisdom is the point of view from which we come at last to regard the world." --M. Proust
This is unbelievable. I was taken to a screen which showed, on a Google Map, all my activities. On a particular day I went to the dog park, then to Kroger, then home, then to the dentist. It was all there, with arrows on a Google Map showing where I went. Also all one's YouTube activity is recorded. The tracking and recording can be disabled.

Not sure how much of the default tracking by Google is because I use an Android device, but instructions are there for iOS as well.
Very cool, I could to to https://www.google.com/maps/timeline?pb and see all the places I've been on a Google map. My tracking stops in December of last year, however. I'll have to figure out how to turn it back on.
Listen to the RadioLab podcast titled “Breaking News.” With just 20 minutes of audio of somebody speaking they say they can extract all the basic verbal sounds necessary to produce audio of that person saying anything they want, just by typing the text, and they seem to be closer to making it undetectable than they are with video. In a segment on forensics an expert said that currently, expertly modified images can be detected 75% of the time (based on irregularities in the underlying pixel data). Hard to tell which side will be gaining on the other but my money is on those making the images or video.
What’s a legitimate application for this? They give the example of Jennifer Aniston doing an ad for a product in English, and then being able to produce the same ad in six different languages with her lips in sync with the language. Another application is in post-production editing. Currently if they shoot a movie scene in which the actor says “shoe” and he should have said “boot” they have to jump through all kinds of hoops, if they are able to make the change at all. This would greatly simplify that process.
When this gets refined and is widely available we won’t be able to believe what we see and hear with our own eyes and ears. Furthermore, people who get taped saying things they later wish to disavow will be able to just say that the tape was manufactured using this process and is fake, and it will be believable.
One of the funnier things I've seen this week... Since most of you live in NC, be careful down there!
