   This morning, in response to the Apple trolls claiming that it can't be   
   done, I wrote this code to track the movement of the GPS:BSSID pairs.   
      
   I set the threshold to 100km but I could have used any distance I want.   
   The fact I can so easily do this (and I'm not a coder!) shows it's trivial.   
      
   The problem I'm pointing out is Apple trolls defend Apple to the death, no   
   matter what, by using the first (inane) excuse that comes to their mind.   
      
   In this case, Chris has claimed repeatedly that it's difficult to do.   
   And yet, it's trivial.   
      
   Here's proof that the Apple trolls defend Apple to the death, no matter   
   what, using the first (absurd) excuse that comes to their mind, and yet,   
   it's trivial to always prove these uneducated Apple trolls always wrong.
