mask.of.sanity writes "New privacy threats have been uncovered by security researchers that could allow every device operating on 3G networks to be tracked. The vulnerabilities could be exploited with cheap commercial off-the-shelf technology to reveal the location of phones and other 3G-capable devices operating on all 3G compliant networks. It was similar, but different, to previous research that demonstrated how attackers could redirect a victim's outgoing traffic to different networks."

    Just put something like

    "I hate apple and google can do no wrong"

    To really confuse the pea brained further, you could then add that you intend to queue up for Lumia 920 in Cyan.

    This should confuse the idiots who don't know how to use the moderation system properly. The amount I see flagged as troll for partisan reasons rather that the quality of the post is getting out of hand.
