If Android sends this data home a log could be created.
Cell phone companies could easily create a log of each cell tower you connect to - how often does your GSM phone contact a cell tower letting it know where it is? Maybe not accurate but depends on what you want this data for...
While I can not speak on the behalf of anybody else, as a member of the civilized world allow me to just say thank you Siemens, Mossad, the Pentagon, and anybody else who may have been involved in keeping the world safe by keeping nuclear arms out of the hands of genocidal dictators and oppressive theocracies
Is this satire? No slashmod states otherwise.....
Iran feels the need to have nuclear weapons because 'x' countries have them.
Even if Iran was to make *one* effective nuclear weapon - what on earth whould they do with it? Drop in it land that they and their forefathers believe is sacred and are willing to die for?
Banks run countries - money changers always have. Was the wikileaks insurance file a PR stunt? I hope not.....has Assange got a 'get out of jail' [well not goto jail] card? Information may well want to be free but it is the control of information which is currently controlled by government, media and corporations which is our biggest threat.
This is just absurd. Who cares about privacy and also trusts Microsoft and uses IE? IE is blocked in all of my firewalls from ever accessing the Internet (and every once in a while that does catch and prevent something that is trying to "phone home"). Thanks for being so concerned about my security Microsoft, but I will just keep and block the current version that you forced into my operating system, for security I'll use other browsers. When someone insists on IE , I "just say no". My bank insisted that I use IE for on-line banking. My new bank didn't.
The kind of people who will click 'I like it' at every whim on any site they come accross - and feel safe because Microsoft/IE is protecting them,,,,these are the people who are worth money to Microsoft/Facebook et al....
Here in the UK most major retailers have 'loyalty' cards and clubcards to track/analyse 'consumers' - credit/debit card companies can only really see how much you spent in a certain shop [store] - over time I would imagine you can build a nice 'consumer profile' from these cards [hence the personalised offers you get]
Many people in the UK are more than willing to agree to their behavior being logged and analysed - and sometimes you get free shit......
Apple does this - Apple does that...... this never had anything to do with Apple censorship - Apple didn't want to get sued so a pre-emptive blanket ban on anything that could cause a problem seeems logical - you pay your money. If your wanting to view these cartoons you don't need a fucking App to do it.....
You get what you pay for - pay your money take your choice.
Can't help thinking the Apple defamation/libel yes men had more to do with this than 'censorship' - Apple covering their ass. They not forcing you to use this app to view this cartoon [yet?]
So this iApp downloads a file from a server and displays it - something like a http client.
