    Smart phones ... Pretty scary

    Well, I figured if we could talk about JJ's love life this shouldn't offend anyone.

    This is pretty scary if your next gen with your smart phone etc. Be forewarned the first imbedded video (well worth watching) is circa 17 minutes. Watch and cringe. Big brother IS watching.

    Actually watched a presentation on this yesterday in class. One of the ways it is being used is to profile shoppers. They post signs at mall entrances saying your cell-phone data can be read but people rarely read the signs. good post

    Thanks Excel. Amazes me the apathy that the general public has to this type stuff. Oh well.

    I read earlier this year that the number of smart phones sold last year nearly doubled the number of computers. If you read the article it appears just about every popular brand is affected to some degree. Mark my words the PC hackers of last century will become the smart phone hackers of this century. Only going to get worse ... guaranteed!

    ya i agree with that, its going to keep growing. Its just filthy the amount of waste generated and money wasted from these useless incremental advances every year, its never going to change but i want no part of it. My krazr is doing just fine.

    For the techno savvy. 99.9% don't even realize this is happening.

    Watch the video JJ. They're capturing your keystrokes ie login and password. Only an issue if your accounts are well funded.
