2014-07-06 21:39:18| AutomotiveDigest.com - Automotive Industry News

As iPhone thefts drop, Google and Microsoft plan kill switches on smartphones
2014-06-19 12:55:50| InfoWorld: Top News
Responding to more than a year of pressure, Google and Microsoft will follow Apple in adding an anti-theft "kill switch" to their smartphone operating systems, U.S. law enforcement officials will announce later Thursday.
