Knowing your fur baby is safe and healthy at all times is a must for a pet parent — but no matter how responsible you are, keeping tabs 24/7 just isn’t realistic. 

Until someone figures out how to translate barks into words like the collar in Disney Pixar’s Up, the Whistle 3 GPS tracker is the next best thing. And with this $20 clip coupon on Amazon, it can be yours for $79.95.

Just think of it as Find My iPhone, but for dogs: Nationwide location tracking via AT&T lets you pinpoint your dog’s whereabouts 24/7, as well as monitor where they’ve gone during the day. Safe spaces (like home, lake house, the end of your street, etc.) can be set up with WiFi as a sort of virtual electric fence. If your pet wanders out of the safe zone, a notification will be sent to you before they get too far away — and on the off chance that he or she does go missing, you’ll have much more reliable backup than posting on Facebook.  Read more…

Last week, a bombshell AP investigation found that Google was still tracking iPhone and Android device users, even if they turned off the “Location History” setting. Now, the first lawsuit has been filed against the search engine giant over this issue, according to documents posted by Ars Technica

On Friday, attorneys representing the plaintiff, Napoleon Patacsil from San Diego, filed the lawsuit in federal court in San Francisco. The lawsuit is looking to establish an “iPhone class” and an “Android class” in its desire to obtain class action status. This could potentially affect millions of users — anyone who uses either an iPhone or Android device and had turned off Location History yet were still tracked by Google.  Read more…
