It's an app. Cerberus (Android)Cool. What phone is that?
If your phone is rooted you can even flash it as a System App, so it survives even a factory reset.
It can do so much...

Okay. Why?My cellphone is locked with a PIN and is set up so it takes a front-camera picture when unlocking fails twice in a row. The picture is sent automatically to my email account. [emoji13]
Easier solution: Don't leave your phone where anyone can steal it.If someone pinches it you get a photo of the thief.
It's not so much stealing but also mugging.Easier solution: Don't leave your phone where anyone can steal it.
That makes a little more sense, providing someone has some way to find the person in the subsequently e-mailed photos and you can find a police officer willing to do that much footwork over a stolen cell phone.It's not so much stealing but also mugging.
Well, considering the fact that the app can (among a bucketload of other things) transmit GPS coordinates of the phone (which it does either upon request via a secret sms command sent from another phone, or via a PC with internet access and even if any non - authorised SIM card is inserted) it shouldn't be too hard to know the whereabouts of the potential thief.That makes a little more sense, providing someone has some way to find the person in the subsequently e-mailed photos and you can find a police officer willing to do that much footwork over a stolen cell phone.
How about when the heroes go to a packed out bar, and then have a conversation at a normal level and still hear every word, or that they can step straight up to the bar and get served?
Most nights out I have been on have been noisy as hell, takes you an average of ten minutes to get served, and you can only hear the person immediately next to you if they are shouting. The person two seats away might as well be miming for all you can hear of them.

Actually, it is the other way around. They do not use any brand names because they did not get paid to. The studios are not going to give them free advertising.This is obviously done because they can't name a drink by brand because they'd have to pay royalties or something otherwise so a beer is just a beer and not a Bud, Dos XX, Heiniken, etc.

Valid points. :thumbsupWell, considering the fact that the app can (among a bucketload of other things) transmit GPS coordinates of the phone (which it does either upon request via a secret sms command sent from another phone, or via a PC with internet access and even if any non - authorised SIM card is inserted) it shouldn't be too hard to know the whereabouts of the potential thief.
I guess cops will be helpful if you show them a pic of the suspect and the current location of the phone.
EDIT: Completely derailed the topic now... better get back on track I guess
One of the worst cases of product placement that I can recall was in Godzilla 1985. In one scene Steve Martin (Raymond Burr, reprising his role from Godzilla, King of the Monsters) is walking down a corridor in a military base somewhere with one of the officers. The corridor is so dimly lit that you can barely see the actors' faces, but at the end of the hallway there's a brightly-lit Dr. Pepper vending machine and the two actors are intentionally and obviously leaving enough space between them for the machine to be seen clearly. :facepalmObvious product placement.
