Answer» Full story from AP Just because you're paranoid does not mean they aren't out to get you... I'd be lying if I told you I couldn't fail to disagree less.Therefore... can I MAKE this my new signature? What size? Quote from: BC_Programmer on April 27, 2011, 12:42:19 PM I'd be lying if I told you I couldn't fail to disagree less. OK i give...i only used two negatives...you used three... So although i know what i meant i fail to know what you meant... Quote from: Geek-9pm on April 27, 2011, 02:17:31 PM Therefore... can I make this my new signature? What size? Where your are? What kind of illiterate chump wrote that? Quote from: Salmon Trout on April 27, 2011, 03:40:42 PM Where your are? What kind of illiterate chump wrote that?Got past the profs reader, Here is the correct version Quote We know whereI don't care how long it takes a computer to boot. I don't care if my firewall doesn't block outgoing data. I don't care who wins American Idol now that Pia's gone (though it annoys the *censored* out of me that even though there are only six contestants left tonight's show is 90 minutes long). And I don't care if my cell phone stores my location(s) or if someone can access that. I truly have important things with which to concern myself. Quote from: Allan on April 27, 2011, 03:54:57 PM And I don't care if my cell phone stores my location(s) or if someone can access that. well, the thing is, they have been storing that type of stuff for years anyway, not sure why everything changes because it stores some of the information on a computer. The only circumstances where I can think that somebody having access to where your phone has been might be bad are all rather contrived, so it seems more like it's "much ado about nothing" really. Quote from: BC_Programmer on April 27, 2011, 04:39:23 PM ...... it seems more like it's "much ado about nothing" really.+1I agree with Allan and BC, that's it's much ado about nothing. My guess, and it's just a guess, is that when Apple decided to do GPS they used some piece of hardware or software that was made for stand alone GPS units, rather than try to reinvent the wheel. All stand alone GPS units track where you have been so when you are lost in the woods, you can find your way home again. Went back and read the article. FOUND some side-splitters: Quote privacy-conscious smartphone usersHAHAHA... Now there's an oxymoron. Of course, when somebody is "privacy-conscious" it just means they are "paranoid out of their skull". See, apparently the fact that this data is digital somehow ups the ante. But really, there are plenty of other low-tech and other high-tech ways to learn about people, but if you are concerned about any of them, then you should either have a *censored* good reason to be, or you are simply a paranoid delusional. A good reason, by the way, would be if a shadowy figure in a large purple hat is everywhere you go, stalking your every move. Watching you eat your meatloaf from the bushes across the street, and when you get suspicious and look all you see is the menacing glitter on the oversized purple stovepipe hat. And the rain of newspapers as the paperboy trips over mr purple-hat's oversized shoes, he get's a deep cut and needs to use your phone... but HARK! the paperboy was nothing more then an accomplice for Mr.Purplehat's evil stalking plan! he IGNORED your home insurance POLICY. he went right past your house title deed and social T4 General Tax returns that you were like just about to send in the next day- he went straight for your iphone. He knows how to strike where it hurts! Now he can see everywhere your phone has been in the last year! Of course if you aren't a kinky weirdo, I'm not sure how tracking information could really be something all that "private". Some have stated that, say, burglars could identify when you are or are not home, and a pattern of your movements. But they could find out whether you were or weren't home by looking at your house. Being able to take the data from a stolen or lost iphone in this manner will tell them where you live, but that's pretty much it. Also, some have stated, or implied that this is some sort of on-purpose thing done by Apple; Why? What the *censored* would that information do for them? I'm sure they could do something with it, but one should never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity, or, in this case, simple mistakes. Steve Jobs be climbing in your window, snatching yo PC up... |
