Yeah, but then you also lose a lot of credibility. Who protects the consumer when the company rips off the users? Or, even better, when the players steal each others virtual (=real) money? Interesting security issues.....
Nobody will invest a lot of money into this game..... Well, or at least should not.
So the bottom line is: if the system protects the user's privacy and asks before revealing personal information, then the average user thinks that it's broken?
I tend to agree but it also shows that there is a fundamental flaw in the design of the system. Or at least something is wrong with the priorities of the designer.... or the users?
Yeah, but the user has to turn it on.... Press the button, enter "InPrivateBrowsing" and your privacy is protected.... Kind of silly. Shouldn't such a feature be activated in the first place? And then, when the application requires the long-term cookies or you want a history, you turn off certain parts of it?
This topic seems to be in everybody's minds these days. I just wonder what new security considerations that need to be dealt with it will bring, especially in terms of (location) privacy. Who will be allowed to "talk" to my car? Will my car identify itself -- and me? Inter-vehicle communication needs authentication, which seems to go along with the idea of RFID tags for the licence plates -- my car as part of my (electronic) identity?
And, of course, new business opportunities: what about a get-out-of-my-way broadcasting gadget for expensive cars -- and ambulances?
