This one is serious. . . Computer researchers have discovered that Android's built-in in routines for doing a "Factory Reset" of their devices is so flawed it allows the retention of contacts, e-mails, images, and more on phones, tablets, and other devices that people sell, give away, or dispose of that they think have been properly erased. This includes passwords, encryption keys, login credentials, cookies, text messages, compromising photographs, and the master Google token used for access to Google Mail and calendars.
An estimated 630 MILLION Android Devices are affected by this flaw!
Do not trust the Factory Reset option to wipe your Android Device when disposing of it. . . find an assured and trusted erasing method or destroy your device instead! — PING!
Android Device Users' Data at major risk when their device is
sold, donated, given away, handed down, or traded in.
Factory Reset does NOT erase the user data!

I’d like to be the first to welcome our Kate Upton and Jessica Biehl robotic Overladies, programmed for endless sex with humanoids, as long as they have ‘kill switches’ so they don’t break my **** off.
