Submission + - Facebook's Very Revealing Text Messaging Privacy Fail (vortex.com)

Lauren Weinstein writes: As I’ve frequently noted, one of the reasons that it can be difficult to convince users to provide their phone numbers for account recovery and/or 2-step, multiple-factor authentication/verification login systems, is that many persons fear that the firms involved will abuse those numbers for other purposes.

In the case of Google, I’ve emphasized that their excellent privacy practices and related internal controls (Google’s privacy team is world class), make any such concerns utterly unwarranted.

Such is obviously not the case with Facebook.

Gruber made? Because of the volume of iPhone sales Apple is limited in what they can put in the phone. By selling a Pro model at a price that will lower that volume they can put components in the phone that they couldn't otherwise. maybe someone else mentioned this, but all the posts I'm seeing is "ha stoopid apple fanbois" I gotta get some better friends.

If you break an external case for your phone you can usually buy a new case for much less than the cost of a new phone, if you happen to break your "indestructible" phone you have to buy a new phone.

Screen protectors are pretty worthless (at least in my experience)

I also use no case (or a minimal case from time to time) myself, so I'm glad that I have the option to buy a nice thin phone that isn't "indestructible"
