Acoustic location was used from mid-WW1 to the early years of WW2 for the passive detection of aircraft by picking up the noise of the engines.
It was rendered obsolete before and during WW2 by the introduction of radar, which was far more effective.

On Friday, December 18 some guy robbed small computer store. But interesting is how he did it.
He crashed his car into the store and then grabbed all the store displays.
But he didn't bother to unplug any cords, so he had to struggle to get the monitors free.
Then he loaded everything in the back of his truck and drove away.
All of this was caught on surveillance video (watch it after the jump).
He stole Apple equipment for around $6,000, but the damage to the building is probably around $10,000, says the owner.
