little buddy tracker

little buddy tracker
The "Little Buddy Tracker" is a must-have this holiday season to all parents worry about their children badass. This is a GPS tracking device that you put into your child's backpack or will notify you if your child leave the place where he felt would be.
As long as we’re not implanting chips into our kids I’m all for this idea. It’s a better solution than leashes or god forbid invisible shocking fences. According to reports, Kinderguard, the UK version of the tracker came out a few years back is doing quite well. The Kinderguard is a more technical device that measures your child’s vitals and alerts you if their heart rate, respiration or any other body part goes kaput. This desire for CIA-like surveillance powers over my kids is particularly out of character for me because I’m something of a civil libertarian. I’m, er, a proponent of the Free Range Kids movement which declares that our kids should have the same freedom that we did in the 70’s and before.
Well, the service remains in the still. I am officially now old-timer, that says something like, "Back in my days, life is different. We used to hold out until the streetlights came on. We used to ride our bikes around the block. No video games and Nickelodeon. But today young people to get driven everywhere.''

This year, Black Friday is more crucial for retailers than ever. Recently, an Office Max Black Friday ad was leaked by BFads.net. A cease & desist order from Office Max pulled the Black Friday ad from the site. The Office Max ad boasted deals on Acer netbooks, digital cameras, and more. Shoppers are going to be more budget-conscious this year. The credit crunch, increasing unemployment, and fear of the unknown are making consumers less anxious to buy. Even so, families still want to have a nice Christmas. It's just that instead of splurging, savvy consumers will hunt for the best deals in town.
Sears "Black Friday is now" selling is a great idea. Allow consumers the luxury that comes in the shop nearly two months before Christmas is a great idea. It helps consumers can not make it out to the Black Friday sales see deals as they wish. The sale should result in more hot spots in stores to Sears. This may lead to increased sales, as some people still shop by impulse.
