I'm sure a GPS location spoofer, if such a thing exists, is highly illegal and would get you in big trouble to use it. GPS signals are on a licensed part of the spectrum, and interfering with those frequencies can cause not just your GPS device to fail, but possibly others around you. GPS is used in in some life or death applications, such as air navigation, so I imagine the feds would take this kind of spoofing very, very seriously.

I believe schle means a software-based location spoofer that feeds a false location to the app in question, instead of messing with the actual connection to the GPS satellites.

Kudos for someone finally making a pretty tech demo that's long enough. Maybe people wouldn't hate it so much if it wasn't marketed as a feature film.

Here in Finland they've really noticed the outdatedness (mainly from people canceling their subscriptions to the "TV fee"), and starting from 2012 they're going to charge about $250 or more per household, TV or no TV present.

Saying "We'll do an all-electric race because, let's face it, they're not that good against the fossile fuel powered ones" may raise public consciousness, but not a desire buy one. Still, 400hp from an electric car is getting there.
