WARNING TO IPHONE USERS

Post by Llama@bad » Wed Apr 20, 2011 7:11 pm

Since iOS 4 Update users of iphones get tracked by their own phone, even when switching gps off (works with cell phone tower triangulation), your tracked data is saved on the iphone (also ipads aswell) and any computer/mac you synced it with...

their is no way of turning this off in the moment but hey....
You can make a map of your trackings meaning having nearly a year of where you went to all around the world on one map... isnt that special.

you can also share the map with us if you dont bother

http://petewarden.github.com/iPhoneTracker/

thats where you get the tool to extract the data :)


(actually i dont know if this is only american iphones since some suspect that this was ordered to apple by the us goverment)...

have fun with it :)

I am a llama :booboo:

:D

Do you know that shopping centres use triangulation data to track you movements around different shops? Id be surprised if most modern phones dont keep some tack of the cell towers although the fact that the info gets backed up (i think) on the iphone is interesting.

we have rfid at work to trak supply needs , tags are 10 a penny and u can attach then to anything , plant map with real time tracking , good for checking stolen IT equipment .

Hell check ur new shiny passport , has rfid inbuild so they know u before u check in and can track anywhere u go once in range.

If ur cool or if ur not it dont matter , It's the way the world is going, Think dog tag like identifiers implanted at birth.

Way of the world is going, Glad im old and soon outta of this shit.

Now where is me 2 sticks to make fire......
