How big is the gps chip in your cell phone?

The GPS chip itself is not the issue. What good is a GPS chip if you can't transmit the data somewhere?
The method for transmitting the GPS coordinates back to a source is what makes size matter.
The cell phone is the key to size.
GPS chips can be safely built in to a variety of personal items, including, but not limited to: bracelets, necklaces, anklets, watches, shoes, cell phones, belts, hats, and even stitched into clothing.
Does it say anywhere in that that a bracelet is the size of a cell phone?

Hi there..
Im new here, and this is the only forum im allowed to post my findings in atm. So i hope someone will read it here since i think its of importance..
Here goes:
I just stumbled upon a little article that i think i should share with you guys. It would be interesting to know if its just me seeing things that actually are not there or if there really is more to the story than they let us know.. Anyway, Nestlé is pushing for their new campaing called "We Will Find You". The commercial can be seen here:
Nestlé 'We Will Find You'
The campaing can be easily described like this: Buy one of the chocolate bars that has an GPS chip embedded in the wrapping. When the wrapping is opened the GPS chip is activated and if you are the lucky winner Nestlé will find you within 24 hours and give you a cash prize of £10,000. Heres an article about the campaign
So they will put a GPS chip in the paper of a chocolate bar just to find some lucky guy/girl and give them the money? Personally i dont think its that simple. I have a bad feeling that they are going to use the GPS thing in some more sinister way.
I did some research on the Nestlé company, and i wasn't very surprised when i found out that the chairmain and former CEO Peter Brabeck-Lethmate en.wikipedia.org... could be found on the list of attendees at the Bilderberg meetings
(source: truthquake.com... ).
So if what some people say about the Bilderbergs are true (im thinking of the de-population of the earth thing here), then things are getting a bit scary. Could it be that they put something in the chocolate that makes us sick in someway and want the GPS thing to be able to track who and which parts of the country that have gotten "infected"? Nestlé have been trying to kill of poor people in Africa before by selling bad breast milk substitute since the early '70s. You can read more about that here:
en.wikipedia.org...
What do you guys think of this? Is it just me that is being paranoid or is there really something to look out for here? I wont be buying any Nestlé chocolate bars again, thats for sure.
And, btw, this is my first real post here and english is not my first language so if i have done any mistakes or broken any posting rules...sorry
Some GPS tracking devices are sewn into clothing for children which provides parents a better method for keeping track on their location.
Some of these are hidden in product that is being shipped for the purpose of being able to track it and make sure that it reaches its intended destination. If it becomes stolen, it serves as a beacon for law enforcement officials for recovery purposes.
Next, the smaller the unit, the less battery consumption takes place which allows it to last longer than larger counterparts. Consider that cell phone batteries have shrunk to almost nothing, yet provide days of activity between charges. In small dedicated units the power consumption is not nearly as great a drain on the battery as are cell phones and smart phones.

Did sdomeone pee in your wheaties last night?
Curious you were just plain rude to me instead of adding something to the conversation, instead you insulted me and a University which has awarded many students technical degrees. In my thinking it was probably not even worth the retort, but I wanted to see if your ridicule had any technical merit at all, which clearly it does not.
Maybe you are just a young kid, so it never occurred to you that people spend years and money working on a degree for which you spit on because you do not value the Institution because it does not measure up to your Ivy League Standards.
May I remind you that some of the most evil people came out of Harvard and Yale. Did you know that Bush and Kerry both graduated from Yale and were both members of Skull and Bones? And we all know that Obama is Harvard and Michelle is Princeton.
It's all in perspective I guess.
Now on topic, what ideas do you have regarding the Nestle rfid chip embedded in candy wrappers, which is being promoted to the general pubic as a kind of prize award? Or instead of insulting me, maybe you could check out the Spychips website or even read the book, and then comment about whether the rfid mayhem is of true value to society.

I thought it would be helpful for people to have a basic understanding of rfid components.

You mean you have a habit of dismissing entire Universities based on your complete lack of ethical values and your laziness regarding researching something before spewing it out your orifices.
In terms of lazy, if you are in a University library and you are researching a project and you find said book of interest, is that being lazy?
Clearly what you meant was that said University isn't up to snuff in your view or you would never have made the remark to begin with.edit on 22-9-2012 by ThirdEyeofHorus because: (no reason given)

That being said, why is there so much confusion as to whether or not this is in the wrapper or in place of the bar itself?
Because most people don't understand technology.. which is perfectly understandable. But, I do enjoy people that listen to reason and I even like it when I am proven wrong.

Sometimes I read about half a post as sometimes all it takes is half a post to cause me to desire to post a comeback. Sometimes the way a post is worded, I just simply don't bother with half of it. Sorry, one of your last posts was like that. Then again sometimes I just miss the person's meaning, as in the other guy.

The confusion came in from articles which stated that the gps tracker is EMBEDDED IN THE CANDY BAR.
Here is one such article which states it is IN the candy bar
Here's how it works. Nestle has embedded six GPS trackers inside of various candy bars. The trackers activate once the candy bar is unwrapped, and a Nestle prize team then has 24 hours to track down the lucky recipients and award them a £10,000 prize.
www.pcmag.com...
Notice it even states that the tracker is activated when the CANDY BAR is UNWRAPPED and did I not SAY that in one of my postsl... oh wait did you READ my post where I said that?
So if there is indeed a large device bigger than the typical grain of rice sized rfid unit, embedded inside a candy bar, it may be a real chocolatey mess. If it were the size of a normal gps device it would seem it would be bigger than a candy bar. But what makes anyone think it has to be large? How big is the gps chip in your cell phone?
This article states that gps and rfid can be combined for outdoor tracking.

Also here is an article which suggests that gps can be built into just about anything, so I don't know what the obsessing over size is....maybe it's just something you do?
That helped nothing and I have no idea why you keep bringing up RFID chips other than that is something you know about and want to seem knowledgeable.
