"Finns are using global positioning system gadgets to track their hunting dogs.

One Finnish reader had this to say about a Wired News story about a GPS product for tracking kids:

'It was interesting to see how priorities vary in different parts of the world,' the reader wrote. 'Americans are worried about their kids and Finns are more worried about their hunting dogs.'

At least two Finnish companies, Pointer Solutions and Benefon, offer GPS products that run on Europe's wireless global system for mobile communications and can track pointer dogs' whereabouts. " [Wired News]

Of course, the Finns also use their cell phones to start their saunas on their drive home, so somehow I feel we are really behind the curve here.
