where is your logic, your making a circular statement which does not apply.

Did you read the references and links of that wiki article about modern piltdown?

Well you need to start looking att cocoa or gnustep to get what object oriented programming is all about.

You mean the evolution hoax...

Allt the school books based on this hoax...

You believe what ever you want but stop fooling around about creationist hoax, when the other is no better at all.

And why phyton isn't that popular either, what if it got standardized. Frozen or not..

A standardization body, will not be subject to sudden ideas of it's maker. Just look at PDF, how Adobe to day will not be able to change it easily, especially in a way that looks it tho them. It's a huge difference with a proprietary frozen code base and a standardized one.

I was asking within the concept of security and knowing what happens. Open Source or Closed Source.

Sigh, triangulation does happen with GPS satellites too, but then we just say GPS. When talking about triangulation they mean of the network stations, over GSM or what ever connection you have.

Furthermore your, phone is anyway tracked by the operators. And there triangulation is way more accurate, as they know their exact location of their antennas.

I tried to manually decipher the file name and location, it's not the easiest thing, if you don't use already developed tools for this task.

One more thing, if u turn on encryption, it seems like the file on the device is encrypted too not just the backups. Anyone with a JB iPhone that can confirm this?

They never look at the files, nor have any system that does it.

You know there is an other way, let the location data stay local. We say show this ad to New York areas and those who been in NY last month. The iPhone it self can determine if that add is a add that is to be downloaded and showed to the user. They never have to look or even manipulate the data on their end. Just keep a process for maintaining the data on the end device.

Perfect they can even make a framework so that third party applications can show ads based on that, without ever sending location data to anyone.

What they then may track is how many actually downloaded that add, how many clicked on it, and how many went and bought something based on that add.

This model makes all this possible without tracking anything of you, they just log you in your own private sphere, and never need to send the info anywhere. You even can opt for encrypting the information and it still works as supposed to.

The framework is called iAds. Not sure though if this is yet implemented. But comparing to google with global data about you, and Apple that only handles your local data on the local site. There is a huge difference.

The difference between logging and tracking. And it seems like Apple Logs a lot more than google, but tracks a whole lot less.

Do you actually compile your own Android distr., and actually check the source code?

You really believe that your not tracked, just because your not on a smartphone.

Well you maybe aren't by google. But that you aren't either if you have a non android smart phone and don't use their services.

Same goes for iphone, and frankly. Even when ur on iPhone google has you tracked more than Apple.

Nah, seems like zero, non in apples case. Only personal files for the tracking of the same person....

Yes but now we do have a standardized format. Packaged as MPEG1,2,4.

Why use anything different that is not a standard allready. What I say, WebM is welcome in the game, if it is standardized.

And BTW what standard is there that isn't governed by a standardization committee, none!

But true that not everything that is a standard started of as a standard. Eg, PDF, IEEE1394. Still they are today governed by a standardization committee.

And this is my whole point. Unless WebM is standardized, use MPEG. If WebM get standardized consider it then, not before.

Please be correct when you flame.

It's logging not tracking and there is a significant difference.

This will not happen...

Google harvest this info, Apple lets it be your private info, and up to you to protect. So google model of erasing is pointless.
