Ping
Scary. I can’t wait to dump mine. The amount of money I pay a month is soul withering.
I live on mine and my iPad, I travel all the time and they just come in handy... but I’m not up to no good until Obama declares such places as Free Republic as subversive and locks us all up...
I’ve been an iPhone user for a couple of years now and just yesterday, I was looking at some of my pictures and noticed there’s a map icon which shows where the pictures were taken. I had no idea that was even there.
What about the two kids?
On the other hand, I wouldn't want to be a married lawyer engaged in anything the little lady might get upset about.
Works both ways. I expect defense lawyers and divorce lawyers will be requesting records from cops and prosecutors. Goose/gander thing. Only fair.

I don’t have one.Don’t have a cell phone either. Don’t want either.
keyboard cache...
not good!
Not more than $45 hopefully.
The keyboard cache is nothing more than an alphabetic list of words that have been typed into the keyboard... It is useless without context. It does not contain numbers.

One would think iPhone users would clamor for spyproofed versions. There is little or no use to the user for most of this stuff.
OK, so let’s talk Linux... is the Android more secure?
If it’s peppered with place names, it is serving as spyware.
Uh, No?
BS. Place names are generally already in the dictionary. Even common surnames and Christian names are already in the dictionary. The cache only retains words not found in the dictionary. Unless you can tell me how your claimed system cache associated with the predictive typing of the iPhone is "spyware" that can be mined by a hacker, you are just trolling. If a hacker can get access to mine that data, then there is a far greater problem than just mining the alphabetic non-contextual words of a cache.
If even most of the oodles of street and municipal names that exist in this land are in the built-in keyboard helper dictionary, there might be a point to your blither.
"Blither"????
Can you be any more insulting???? or dismissive???
You are the one spouting FUD in this thread... and you call me calling you on it "blither"???? The truth is "blither?":
It matters NOT whether they are or are not in there... (I have not found many that are not) ... YOU ARE SPOUTING FUD without any point or purpose except to make noise... and spread Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt. FUD.
It is still not SPYWARE. Nor is it "acting as SPYWARE." Your claim that it is, is absurd. I called you on it.
Hey Joe - take this here iPhone and take some pictures of my family at the beach while I rob this bank on the other side of town.....
