Why You're Better Off Avoiding the iPhone
Prachtig stukje op Lifehacker. Sommigen (De algemene regel is dat woorden als sommige een meervoudsuitgang -n krijgen als ze personen aanduiden en zelfstandig worden gebruikt. ) zullen zeggen als je het niet bevalt dan koop je het toch niet. Dat doen we dan ook niet, maar wat nu als je er al een hebt?

The location services of the iPhone, while really cool are really scary. I gave Twitteriffic permission to use my location, thinking it worked like Twinkle did on a jailbroken iphone (City, State). Nope.. Twitteriffic provides your exact GPS coordinates to everyone in the public. I had to delete a few tweets that pinpointed my living room.
Once you authorize a program a couple times, they seem to stop asking and I have no way to go back. I'm not even paranoid, but this is a privacy nightmare that nobody is talking about.
Think about that next time you tweet "Going on vacation for the weekend! See you Monday" with location services on...
Voor nu: If we want businesses to be ethical, we have to reward the ones that are. By not enriching companies that want to take away our freedom and by rewarding those that respect us, we will be helping to bring about a better future.
En je zal maar een blackberry hebben, die zijn niet eens cool uit.
