Title: Palm Pre not good for ya privacy
Post by: delanvital on August 13, 2009, 10:32:02 PM
If the new Palm Pre is your pick and you are picky with your privacy - you might want to check the privacy settings:

QuoteProgrammer Joey Hess found that Palm Preââ,¬â,,¢s operating system webOS sends his GPS location back to Palm (http://kitenet.net/%7Ejoey/blog/entry/Palm_Pre_privacy/) every day. Hess also found code that sends Palm data on which webOS apps he has used each day, and for how long he used each one.

This privacy thing is getting out of hand. Now, I have no objection to CCTV cameras per se, but the one in my lavatory is going a bit too far! :sideways:
