  1. Re:Yeah, I mean... on Google Sued For Tracking Users' Locations · · Score: 1

    No the phone was collecting data as it needs to. And at no point has anyone shown that any data from the db file on the iPhone has ever been transmitted to Apple. If location services are off nothing can access that data but the AGPS system as required. AGPS for 911 would be useless if it took 10 minutes to get your location.

    The key here is there is a difference between AGPS and location services but they use some of the same data.

    Oh nos. now the coppers now where cell phone towers are. Wait cant you normally see those from a couple of miles away.

    PS I've sat on a jury and listened to testimony from Michigan State Police cell phone experts. Ummm lets just say you need not worry. These guys are just rank amateurs that took a seminar. They have no knowledge of technology what so ever. If anyone that reads Slashdot was arrested based on these guys work has no fear. Anyone here could cross examine these guys into a puddle of goo.

    Oh wait no mines more valid as they claimed to discover something real and reputable researches have known (and Written about) for years.

    You think everybody's dumb enough to file a motion to suppress right away. You let the cops go out dig up the bodies and collect all the evidence then you file. Everything is excluded. Unless the police can convince a judge the would have eventually looked under his pool with a scanning radar.

    Cops pull over a guy for drunk driving.

    They search his phone and find hundreds of pictures young girls both alive and deceased most of them mutilated. Turns out the guy is the biggest serial killer/pedophile history has known.

    Guy walks free as the search is ruled illegal as there was no probable cause to believe the phone contained any relevant evidence relating to the drunk driving arrest.

    Sloppy lazy police work has real consequences.

    Absolutely not courts have ruled any search beyond what is viewable requires a warrant unless it relates to the crime in question. That is if you robbed a bank they can search for a gun. If your driving without a license they can't search anything.

    Use of such a device on motorists would be a clear 4th amendment violation. Courts have ruled that police can only search for items that would relate/be evidence to the crime committed There is little chance your phone data is relavent to an illegal lane change.

    Dude Top gear is in Britain. Britain averages 1.1 cars per household. This is why in Britain a car that can do only 90% of your driving is useless. Also the vast majority of british homes do not have garages either again making electrics a poor choice there

  18. Re:Doesn't pass the bullshit test on Top Gear Fights Back At Tesla · · Score: 1

    One simple test would what they showed have happened if Tesla allowed them to drive until the batteries where depleted. YES. All TG did was illustrate the very true fact that once it runs out of juice you have to wait hours to recharge it. Not a huge factor when driving a leaf 15 miles to work everyday but you don't buy a $100,000+ sports car to drive for an hour at a time.

    Jeremy was very correct. In the real world pure electrics just don't work.

  19. Re:Doesn't pass the bullshit test on Top Gear Fights Back At Tesla · · Score: 1

    So again: Jeremy looking confusedly at the dashboard then cutting to a scene of crew members pushing the Tesla off the track was meant to imply what, exactly? The car didn't need to be pushed and it was never explained why it was.

    I was meant to show you what would happen if Tesla wasn't interfering with the testing and prohibiting Top Gear from showing the Car running out of juice. They could have run it down to 0 but weren't allowed too.

    I'm sure the expected range whipping one of those high-end sports cars around the track is much less than the official rating too, but you'll never see one of those being pushed back to the hangar...

    Nope most of the time when there pointing out a high end exotic's short range it's just left by the roadside as the presenter walks away. Been done many times.
