mSpy launches a smartphone that makes it easy to spy on someone you know

The National Security Agency would love this smartphone. The mSpy smartphone lets you track the mobile phone activity of someone you know, without making them aware you are doing so, so long as the person’s smartphone has mSpy software on it.

You can’t just track the activity of anybody around you. Of course, the NSA can probably already do this. Now you can too. Not that it would be legal to actually spy on your friends.
