Is it there yet? Is it there yet? Is it there yet? Is it there yet?

This reminds me of when my original Raspberry Pi Model B finally shipped in June 2012 IIRC. That was a very exciting time for RasPi and everyone was eagerly awaiting the little boards that they ordered on Feb 29th or a couple days later, depending on when they could get access.

Anyway, it finally shipped! By UPS ground. I got to monitor its slow progress from the USA Southeast Coast to the West Coast, taking the same route as 19th Century wagon trains and seeming to go about as fast [View:/resized-image/__size/16x16/__key/commentfiles/f7d226abd59f475c9d224a79e3f0ec07-1ae90830-1cbe-47f5-894c-0a43017e711c/contentimage_5F00_2.png:16:16] Gee, with GPS tracking I could have experienced this agony with 15 meter accuracy [View:/resized-image/__size/16x16/__key/commentfiles/f7d226abd59f475c9d224a79e3f0ec07-1ae90830-1cbe-47f5-894c-0a43017e711c/contentimage_5F00_1.png:16:16]

When will "tracking" become a good thing? I bet the tracking will apply to unintended things like you after the package is received by the information mongers or big brother.

Does that also mean that they can track your product as long as you have it?
