I hope this gets treated with the contempt it deserves :roll:

I'm confused. Wouldn't Nostradamus constitute "prior art"? He certainly seems a more plausible inspiration for the film than some obscure patent.

So the Company claims they have patented something that can do this

Everyone who has ever had an accident should now sue them – after all if they know the exact location, time etc of every accident they should inform me of when I will have one so I can do something not to have it. Based on that they own me for every car accident, trip, etc.

Roll on the Millions

Global Findability....

Stupid name and hopeless website. Plus the cheapest business logo ever. Who would have thought of replacing the 'o' in 'Global' with a picture of...the globe. That's thinking outside the box!

Having a look at their website I got a warning about malicious stuff that could harm my computer. Doesn't bode well. I wanted to ask them where my car keys were.
