A Device to Grab Data From Cell Phones

what about writes "Apparently there is a quick, simple, and undetectable way to grab all of your cellphone data. CNet reports on the Cellular Seizure Investigation (CSI) Stick, developed for law enforcement but available to the public, which 'connects to the data/charging port and will seamlessly grab e-mails, instant messages, dialed numbers, phone books and anything else that is stored in memory. It will even retrieve deleted files that have not been overwritten. And there is no trace whatsoever that the information has been compromised, nor any risk of corruption. This may be especially troublesome for corporate employees and those that work for government agencies.' I use mobile knox, a secure storage application, for my important data, but I would be very upset if somebody grabbed my telephone list, SMS, or anything else from my locked phone."

Abby and McGee have had a copy of that for what... five seasons?

Re:Enough with the overrated tag already

[damn_registrars]

Your comment is probably marked overrated because pretty much every phone sold in the last five years comes with a cable for backing it up

Maybe I'm crazy, but I would say there has been a trend of my un-moderated comments being hit with the "overrated" tag. And being as the "overrated" tag seldom (if ever?) comes up for meta-moderation, it is a pretty bullet-proof way for someone with an ax to grind to knock down the comments of someone they don't like.

You could be right. It may be that someone honestly felt that this product is irrelevant and nobody cares where it is sold or how much it costs. And I wish I could believe that is the case. However, this trend suggests otherwise.

And on top of that, how often do you actually see the "overrated" tags applied in general contexts around here? I've seen plenty of posts of questionable merit moderated up to +5. Yet somehow my posts are being knocked down as "overrated" - sometimes while they are still just at their starting score of +2.
