Your phone is listening...

Recommended Posts

Following on the article posted on the iPhone keeping GPS logs of where you go, below is link a PC World article in which they have named various smart phone and their apps that listen in on what is happening without the user knowing. They call this a feature :icon_lol: and seems to be available for iPhones and Android phones.

 

Your phone is listening

 

Its kind of scary to know that our phones could be transmitting what it picks up around it. These companies are using the information for more targeted advertising and who knows what else.

 

It's really getting to be an Orwellian world out there :-( I almost want to keep my phone off and only turn my phone on when I need to use it.

 

Here is the raw link if you don't like embedded links: http://www.pcworld.com/article/225497/snooping_its_not_a_crime_its_a_feature.html#tk.nl_dnx_h_crawl
