[QUOTE=meppers;47916867]i thought it said bacon devices[/QUOTE]
I know, right? I was like "Awww yiss, motherfuckin' bre...bacon"
Once I read the article headline I cried. I just want bacon, man.
The special offers thing is kind of a cool idea, but only if the customer initiates it. If I walk in a shop and some shit about Clash of Clans pops up on my phone, time to disable Bluetooth.
That's actually a fairly cool idea. Though the only application is basically advertising I can see some merits to it.
Localised advertising within apps currently requires you to have some kind of location service enabled and that shit isn't great on your battery. Now a store could tell the app "hey we're located here, here's some links and shit" without hooking into the location service. Or as the article says, in the case of Facebook it could filter out some news feed posts that might not be relevant pushing closer friends up to the top of the feed.
I do wonder what other uses something like this might have.

[QUOTE]The page notes that the feature can be turned off.[/QUOTE]
as long as both of these are true, that's not so bad, but it's a feature that should probably be off by default
