    Default This is pretty damn freaky...

    Your Smartphone Is Spying on You

    An Android developer recently discovered a clandestine application called Carrier IQ built into most smartphones that doesn't just track your location; it secretly records your keystrokes, and there's nothing you can do about it. Is it time to put on a tinfoil hat? That depends on how you feel about privacy.

    Rest of the article here...

    When life gives you lemons, make lemonade... then find someone whose life gave them vodka, and have a party.

    I wonder if the Apple products are doing this? The article does not specificly mention Apple or iPhones, iPads, etc.

    I have always suspected something was strange with my smart phone (OS: Android; Hardware: Huawei). I have dramatically decreased its usage over the time due to this concern. I thought I was being paranoid but it seems like my suspicion was valid afterall. I have also stopped hooking my phone to my computer because I noticed my computer started acting abnormal since I started hooking it to my phone.

    I read something similar about apple devices.
    It doesn't bother me. I'm not doing anything I shouldn't.

    I guess this would be a little off topic. A while ago cops came to my door looking for my fiance (at the time, now my husband) I was dumb and lied saying he wasn't there. Little did I know they already saw him.

    Anyways to make a long story short, we both got arrested. Him for the bench warrant he had, and possession of marijuana. I got hit with obstruction of justice, and possession also. Even though I told them it was not mine, and my fiance backed me up.

    They wanted my fiances phone (an iphone) and asked me where it was. Out of all the commotion I honestly had no idea. So then they tell me they want my phone. (Also an iphone)

    What was I supposed to do? I'm already in handcuffs, don't want to lie again and get into anymore trouble, bawling my eyes out. I tell them my phone is in the BACK bedroom (where I was sleeping until my fiance came and told me the cops were here) plugged into the wall charging.

    So they went into my house and took it with them. I don't know if they ever did anything to it or what. I got it back when I made bail.

    Me too or one of my favorite variables "he put his penis in my husband's mouth". Every time I search on Google I wonder if someone is watching what I type and thinks I am some sort of a pervert.
