But why do people let the world know where they are? Not using the
device is not enough, It has to be switched off to avoid tracking.
Mine is only switched on when I am willing to accept calls or need to
make a call. That only amounts to a small proportion of my waking
hours so it is more often off than on..



My phone OTOH is always on except when it has to be off, eg whilst driving
a train.

Do drivers have to completely switch off their mobiles when at work? Or
can you simply put them on silent or airplane mode?


Off in the cab. Apparently we can't be trusted with airline mode etc .

Well, you might still be playing Angry Birds :-)



In recent months I've played (and got bored with) a few railway-themed
games (though not while driving!) - I wonder how many railway-themed game
apps there are!



Whilst not as an app, SIAM have railway simulations - mostly based on
DOS. Very good as well if you like that sort of thing.


That won't work to pass the time on my iPhone then

I used to have some SIAM games many years ago - presumably they're still on
one of the old hard drives stacked on the shelf 'to be sorted through'.
