Your Droid is probably spying on you.

Further proof that phones are for fucking phone calls...and smart phones are for dumb people (sorry...they're just not secure).

I think I'm even gonna lose my ancient Motorola 815, and go even further back in time to either a StarTac, or a fucking brick...something that can't run ANYONE'S fucking software.

...I'm off to eBay!

:scared:

Nokia 918. You can even throw it at someone and hurt them pretty severely :lol:

Man, the StarTac. I remember that piece of crap. They were the canaries of the EM world, anytime they were exposed to emissions of even moderate strength the RT fried. I went through three of them before I realized HF tests on the OTHER END OF THE FLIGHTLINE was the cause of their irritating demise.

My droid is a piece of fucking shit. It's probably sending info to assholes in Tard language.

Other than naked pictures of the Mrs, I could care less what they can get to on my phone... Seriously.

Contact info - oh noes!!!! They used to print these things called phone books that had everyone's contact info in it! I cannot believe it!!!

Text messages - oh how scary!!! Someone is interested in knowing about what I want for dinner, how the Mrs did on her exam, and what time my party starts! How will I survive?!

Interwebz search history - I can't handle it!!! People are gonna know I've looked at porn, I like motorcycles, and I buy shit off of Craigslist and eBay!!! Dear god!!!

So fucking what... who cares... you could probably find out all of that shit about me in a 5 minute conversation anyway... My litmus test - if I meet someone new, would I share that shit with them? If the answer is yes, then it's NOT sensitive information.

We aren't talking activation codes to nuke warheads here people, you aren't that special. If they can use that info to figure out what ads to send me, let them go to town on it... probably make my immersion into the world of consumerism more enjoyable anyway.

Heh, it's like people who black out their license plate info in pictures on the internet... Do you cover that shit up when you park your car outside of Wally-World? What's the fucking difference? It's on the back of your car at all times... does putting it out on the web make it MORE public?

Exactly, too much shit to dig through to find me
