People also want to know when their friends were nearby, but it's not always convenient to keep checking Latitude to see if a friend has recently shown up near you. After working on this for a while, we realized it wasn't as straightforward as sending a notification every time Latitude friends were near each other. Imagine that you're Latitude friends with your roommate or co-workers. It would get pretty annoying to get a text message every single time you walked in the door at home or pulled into work. To avoid this, we decided to make Location Alerts smarter by requiring that you also enable Location History. Using your past location history, Location Alerts can recognize your regular, routine locations and not create alerts when you're at places like home or work. Alerts will only be sent to you and any nearby friends when you're either at an unusual place or at a routine place at an unusual time. Keep in mind that it may take up to a week to learn your "unusual" locations and start sending alerts.
upfrontPrivacy Notice
* Your history will not be visible publicly or to your Latitude friends.
* You may delete your entire location history or portions of it whenever you like.
* Disabling the feature will not remove existing history already stored. To delete that, go to History management.

Earlier this year we announced Google Latitude, a service that lets you and your friends share your locations with each other. You control who gets to see your location and where on the map you appear to others. Today, we're releasing Google Latitude for iPhone and iPod touch, available in the Safari browser.
Magic Lantern is an open platform for developing enhancements to the amazing Canon 5D Mark II full frame digital SLR. This camera is a "game changer" for independent film makers: * It allows the use of a wide range of lenses (anything that can be adapted to the EF mount). * The 35mm full-frame sensor is larger than the RED ONE's sensor, Super 35 film. It is approximately the size of VistaVision. This means shallower native depth-of-field than anything on the market, except for the Phantom 65. * The dynamic range and latitude are close to the capabilities of high-end HD cameras. * The low-light performance is currently unrivaled, even by the RED ONE.
I Am Here Map is a Javascript library to create and embedded map to find the
latitude and longitude of a point, using the ModestMaps Javascript API.
It also supports geocoding, reverse-geocoding and automagic client positioning
using a variety of geolocation providers as well as the ability to display shape
contours for locations that have been reverse-geocoded.
