pentagon headache? it s hugely embarrassing. now it finds that this popular interactive exercise app that charts the running routes taken by its users to create competition, is actually up loading data to a publicly available satellite tracking system that and ad inadvertently bases around the world. the app is called strav. the glitch was governorred b discovered by a 20-year-old australian blogger. the story first appeared this weekend in the washington
