iPhone iOS4 built in stalker tool

Non-Beer Discussion by FLASHPRO

I just found out today that the latest iPhones record your every move and save it to a hidden database on your computer when you sync it. That's pretty creepy, especially since they do it without your consent, and no one knows what they are doing with that information. Some members of Congress sent a letter to Apple today demanding some answers. Apparently someone has already made some software that lets you see your movements on a map, but I think it only works on a Mac. http://www.eweek.com/c/a/Security/Lawmakers-Demand-Apple-Clarify-iPhone-Tracking-Capability-234998/

OH, it's even worse than this! When you take a picture and post it, most cameras will tell when it was taken and exactly where it was taken. I worry about people on facebook with 4 million friends who have pictures of their children all over the place and dont control who can see them. The computer is a predator's best friend. [:(]

i love mine..but my hopes for a life of crime are over. It's not just MAC tracking.. ONSTAR knows where you are all the time. Nikon knows where you are... Hell, everybody knows where you are and where you've been, if they care to know. Cell phone conversations arent private.. WE are hardwired into the system now and there is no turning back. I know this because I watch alot of movies..lol

The big deal about the iPhone tracker is that it's unsecured and uncontrolled. It's true that cell phone services pretty much know the same exact information, but the difference is that it's secure and the government needs a court order to retrieve it. The iPhone data has an unencrypted database showing where you've been every minute you've had your phone, and it sits on your phone and every computer you ever synced with. A pretty basic virus could look up the directory on your computer and send it out somewhere without you ever knowing. Personally, I don't really care. If someone wants to know where I am all they time they can follow me or hire someone else to do it. I'd be flattered ha.
