Loss of privacy in Google Maps

One could use My Maps and the Distance Measurement Tools, etc. in Google Maps without logging in with a Google Account earlier. Now they can’t. Pathetic, both in amount of time and bandwidth wasted and the loss of privacy.

Programming mobile phones

I wish I could program my mobile phone for specific events, so it could, say, remind me to charge my phone if the battery level is low and I’m in my home, use cell-id to detect if I’m in/near my home, record routes with cell-id/GPS easily, have different behaviours ranging from different beeps/vibrations to their lengths, etc.

Scripting my phone both from a computer and the phone itself would be very useful. Unfortunately, nobody I know has implemented it.
