Comment Re:A cell phone tracking cell towers? (Score 1) 373
From what I understood from a related earlier article, the beef of the scientists who discovered this tracking information is that Apple stored this info unencrypted on the phone without cleaning up even after transmitting it back to Apple. Like you the experts have no problem with the tracking itself, its the haphazard way it is implemented.
This info is left open to whoever wants to know where you've been, say if you lost or got your phone stolen. Or maybe an estranged partner can find out where you've been while you are sleeping.

This is a quote taken from my local newspaper, by Raj Patel on American discontent with President Obama.
"A lot of us thought of him as the pizza delivery guy of change, where we would sit on our couches and he would being hot, steaming change in 30 minutes."
Which leads me to think, cultures and civilization can be easily destroyed by the drop of a bomb, to rebuild that will take time.
