Stick This Thing to Your Kid and You Won’t Lose Them [GPS]
The Insignia Little Buddy is a $100 child-tracking GPS system. You simply duct tape the Little Buddy to your kid, and you’ll never lose the little bugger again (involuntarily).
A web interface positions you various little ones on a map marked with your custom “safety zones.” But the most enticing feature, if we’re studying the GPS tracking page properly, is that you can assign your children with various barnyard animal iconography. That’ll teach little piggy the consequences of being late.
The Little Buddy will be on sale at Best Buy shortly, and we assume the service could come with some sort of monthly cost. [Best Buy via navigadget]

Of course, this has set off yet another round of conspiracy theories and Apple accusations. Here’s what Apple had to say:

We’re huge fans of the built-in Google Maps Navigation that comes with Android 1.6 and later. The free GPS service has come along and found itself replacing applications and services from bigger, more established players. Naturally, we tend to show a little bias around here being that we’re all Android lovey-dovey. How does the service [...]
