If you didn’t compile it yourself, you don’t know what it does, do you?

This sort of thing does not help to convince me that I should get a cell phone.

Thx for posting this. I saw this and related today on the "news aggregator" app on my new iPhone. I'd have posted it, but it would been too much work from ... My new iPhone.

In incidentally, the WSJ story contains a queer reference that I think is gratuitous. The Journal does that sometimes. I'm looking for a better version to send to everyone I know... from my new iPhone.

sent from my iPhone.

“Google’s main mobile-ad network is AdMob, which it bought this year for $750 million. AdMob lets advertisers target phone users by location, type of device and “demographic data,” including gender or age group.

A Google spokesman says AdMob targets ads based on what it knows about the types of people who use an app, phone location, and profile information a user has submitted to the app. “No profile of the user, their device, where they’ve been or what apps they’ve downloaded, is created or stored,” he says.”

AdMob, what a name. If you believe “No profile of the user, their device, where they’ve been...”, I got a bridge for sale.

Most cell phones are traceable via tower pings. Turning off the phone does nothing.

To render the older phones untraceable, one must remove the battery.

Or just smash the thing.

The newer phones not only ping cell towers, they are traceable via gps, down to the meter, in real time. I would not be surprised to learn that many of the newer units have internal backup battery systems to maintain clock and date functions (and tracability) should the battery be removed.

Is that a mole in your pocket, or are they just glad to see you?
