          It's really cool. I was watching kids in my town riding their bikes up and down the street last night with a phone in their hand. When they saw a Pokemon they would stop and catch it. Unfortunately we live on a pretty busy street so I hope they are paying attention enough.

            Took like one hour before my nephew got into a screaming fight with his mom because he is now refusing to look before crossing streets. Even when told to look he will just ignore people and stare at the phone while crossing.

                  Exactly this, and other health issues caused by constantly looking down at your phone. All it takes is an unaware kid trying to catch a pokemon while crossing the street in front of an unaware adult driving arouond looking for a pokemon. We've already seen the positive benefits of this app, but we shouldn't overlook the risks. Surrendering your peripheral vision has serious consequences.

                    I don't play, but I'm not opposed to it. There is a CVS on the way home that has become some kind of meeting place for it. Groups of kids converge...I think that's nice. They aren't hurting anyone and maybe...just maybe...gain a friend. Just watch where you're walking.

                      As far as the security issue. Create a Google account that you don't really use for anything. No one said you can only have 1 gmail account. 🙂

                        Definitely something that I considered but decided against as I wasn't that interested in the game

                          @nadnerB I've never played. I live in a really nice town with a ton of friendly people so watching the kids converge and have fun is cool. At first I didn't know what the hell was going on. I thought it was a field trip or something LOL

                            The developer just released an update to reign in the Google apps permission set.

                                No, it was discussed yesterday, the 12th. The app was updated today, the 13th.

                                  No, it actually updated on the 12th. My family plays and in the evening on the 12th their apps alerted and updated. My wife had already had everyone update the night before.

                                    I was it the park playing kickball last night and groups of kids (kids like 18-21 years old) would walk right through the field. Pretty rude, but you gotta admit it's pretty adorable too, everyone standing in a little circle pointing their phones at the ground chasing cartoons.

                                      Nope, just rude. A firm kickball upside the head would have quickly dispersed those arseholes.

                                        Agreed, that is pretty rude.
