Free GPS cell phone tracking application, BuddyWay.

Though there is no developed open source application that deals with tracking of cellphones and other gps enabled devices through internet. Buddyway is one of those application which provides some of the basic features involved in gps tracking like tracking one's own cell phone for route tracking and location identification in a map.
It is not a great issue that in the mere future there will be one such software application.But for now buddyway could be a possible alternative.

Simple way of stopping software piracy...

Every one need an office suite in their system to use documents, prepare presentations and do many such activities. But I don't know why,not all have that generous mind of spending some dime for a software. If my guess was correct, this need paves the way for piracy.
I would say, It is the duty of experienced professionals to develop the open source applications up to the standard of at-least meeting the basic expectations of average users. When this practice was followed ultimately fresh programmers will also be grasped into this open source era. A rapid growth in this field is being noted, soon this dream of everything for everyone will become reality, but it takes lot of work from our side though.
