I wonder if they beeped before they went off. "Oh yes, someone wan-oh"

Well I've always been suspicious that my mobile is essentially a tracking device, but I didn't know that the government can also use it to blow my bollix off! :o
Those rioters should count themselves lucky that they just got sent to jail for a few months. ;D

The video on the news was very dramatic, poor man standing, minding his own business, when BANG!! Bits of his belly all over the place. Should have been very worrying, but.........me and the missus just looked at each other and pissed ourselves laughing.
I feel quite ashamed......honest.

Anyone know how they managed to do this ?

If I told you, I'd have to get your television to kill you.

On the BBC News at 10, they had a fella speculating that the shipment of pagers was intercepted and small amounts of explosive fitted into each one.
He reckoned that the theory where the pagers were hacked so the batteries would explode isn't sound, as you wouldn't get consistent explosions, as we have seen happen.
Whoever has done this has pulled off a stunning operation!

I was thinking about getting one of those 'smart' TV's.... :-\
Don't think I'll bother now! ;D

Never underestimate Mossad. ;)

I wonder how many more armed pagers, mobiles etc are out there?

Both Android and iOS do track, and can provide you with a map of where you have been today/this week/month/year/forever
Obviously any cellular phone operator can broadly track you by cell.

We have been discussing this at work and looked at a teardown for one of these devices.
The battery is a standard removable cell but, there is a small backup battery which might fit the bill.
I suspect the rumour about them triggering a thermal event are a load of rubbish, I think they just fired off a small bit of plastic explosive to do the damage.

anyone got an EBAY link please :-\ :D

Yes. If 30-40 years ago someone told us that we'd all voluntarily go round with devices in our pocket that the government (or whoever) can track all of our movements, we'd have laughed, but here we are. ::)

Walkie-talkies exploding now :o What next, electric toasters?

Think you need to put your electric scooter to one side for a few days STEMO....just in case.

Thankfully your definition of all isn't the same as mine ;D

Do you find it somewhat ironic that pretty much everything you do is tracked in some way, including your Nokia 3310 :-\
And your credit card provider knows more about you than you do let alone the various agencies.

Malcolm doesn't have a credit card. He pays for everything with pounds, shillings, and pence. ;D

Can't you see it all makes perfect sense.

You put your credit card (Halifax Clarity or similar) in an ATM at the airport when you land somewhere, and withdraw £300 in the local spondoolies. Then pay for as much as possible with cash. "They" already know you're at that airport from API, so you haven't given them any info they don't already have.
Anything "sensitive" gets encrypted on my machine, and then EMailed to an account I have no remote access to via VPN from a sandbox in a dual boot virtual machine.
I'm currently watching F-22's at a location in Virgina ;D

Hopefully the weather will still be ok when I go to Baltimore next weekend. Be nice to have more than 24 hours there to explore the Chesapeake area though :-\
