  1. Re:So, who's the "customer"? on Apple: "We must Have Comprehensive Location Data" · · Score: 1

    Feel free to examine all you want.. Android doesn't have a clue what the hardware is doing. Those things are 'trade secrets'.. Day after day, you read more about all this, and you still believe you have 'privacy'.. I don't understand it.

    That's not my point. I don't want it to be done, but it is. And despite what you may think, there is no 'off' button on the Android either. My point is that nobody is 'above board' on this. It is ludicrous and naive to believe a 'privacy policy'.

    Yeah, but they do.. You may or may not find out about it later, but there's not a hell of a lot you can do. All networked devices (especially wireless) are inherently insecure in that fashion and they always will be. The best you can do is fill the system with chaff, which actually can be very effective.

    ...transmitting it secretly to headquarters...

    And for some reason you believe Google and everybody else isn't? Why? Because they say so?? That's... interesting..

  6. Re:No excuse for lack of encryption. on Apple: "We must Have Comprehensive Location Data" · · Score: 1

    Apple made terrible software, and they are now informing us that they will continue to do so.

    Really? And what's the standard procedure for dealing with 'terrible software'? Apple stock is now over 300 dollars an ounce.. er.. share.. because of their 'terrible software'.

    Absolutely not! We humans want the composed chorus of conformity, not the calamitous cacophony of chaos.

    Ah, another common misconception... 'homosexuals' are much more conservative than the stereotype would lead you to believe..

    I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that you picked the last option in the 'humor' poll on the front page..

    How convenient to ignore the dark underbelly of geothermal.. apocalyptic indeed.. you'll never see a coal plant do that.. This is what happens when you hand it over to BP.

    when you try to tether the device to the network.. Old fashion local storage is still the way... That, and cut back a little on the advertising..

    ...wish there was an analogous way to run a pirate radio station on the internet...

    Not until wireless mesh can get around the service provider problem.. But that doesn't mean you can't setup a powerful wifi and/or make a 'mini mesh' for your neighborhood and just stream your music collection and/or propaganda
