My manager just got a new Iphone, and he was showing me an app that will track anyone just by typing in their cell phone number. It uses cell towers, so it shows the general area that the person is in. I think that's awful, and I certainly don't want anyone who knows my number to be able to spy on me. Is there a way to hide your phone from services like this? Or, is it impossible to protect privacy now days?
 
Now that we all live in glass houses we all need to learn how to use the toilet elegantly.

Turn it off, et le voila!
 
too late. Did you know that every time you Google something it is recorded and filed by Google. Eventually I imagine all that information on everyone is going to be used somehow. Either advertisers or govt agencies.
 
I'm wondering what the app is too. there are one or two that I am aware of that alow you and your friends to track each other, but you must first "allow" them to track you.

I'll ask my manager on Wed and get back with you guys on what it is (off tomorrow)... I don't like it one bit though... just like Obama forcing us to buy health insurance.... what is ths world coming to?
 
Go fine-tune your gaydar!

There is an app also to find mo's. I heard about it on OutQ satelite radio.

If you want to be found and get bashed, the old-fashioned way works jsut fine. Just put on some CFMP cha-cha heels and a nice dress...............

Anyone ever notice that for the most part the mo's that "advertise" on their cars is of the female variety.... and it's usualy a Subaru? *LOL*

I also just saw an app to turn on one's Christmas tree.

In a word... WHY?
 
"Anonymity is like a warm woolen blanket"

As Vanessa Redgrave's character, Max, purred in "Mission Impossible". My Father, may he rest in peace, warned us of this. Big Brother is here, and it's one reason why I don't like, and don't use, cell phones. It's amazing how many cattle have assimilated them into their corral of necessities.

Give me an ATT rotary wall phone any day.

My Razor phone has this feature

However, you have to enable it in order to be tracked. It's very handy if you have children. You can always tell where the little buggers are, well at least their phones. Funny thing is most people don't know it's there and the default is enable.

I have already warned my daughter, who is five, when she learns to drive. There will be a GPS system on the car, and enabled, before she gets the keys.
 
Pass the kielbasa, new potatoes and sauerkraut......

~Does that make me a lesbian? :)

You are what you eat, dear........... LOL
 
Baja-

Next time you're out and about in the wide world, try to find a pay phone. Then, try to find a pay phone that works. Then, try to find a pay phone that works and does not cost .75/1.00 for the first three minutes.

pay phones.......^^^^^^^

ha! aint that the truth i would just die without my crackberry!last month my cellphone battery died while i was out n about and it took me 15 minutes to find a public phone that worked! i payed .25 (shocker)but i felt so weird, and as for google keeping everything i look up, they must be a bit bored with me because 85% of the time its completely useless information LOL.
 
Subarus, Pick-up Trucks, and Land Lines

If they have any rainbow, "celebrate diversity" or "random acts of kindness" sort of stickers, I'm going to say that outside of San Francisco city and county limits, there is not any "% chance" the vehicle belongs to a lesbian. It absolutely does. Period.

And if you see any sort of "bear" related sticker or license plate frame, the car will likely be some type of Japanese buzz bomb and have some sort of 30-ish straight chick behind the wheel who probably enjoys the pastime of "crafting."

Both scenarios are equally aggravating.

Even the leather flag/motif stickers are seriously hit and miss. Only a bear flag/motif gets my attention anymore since it's the only one that implies an actual man is at the helm.

Now about cell phones. Well, they are junk. They drop calls, they have interference, they are annoying in public, they cause traffic accidents probably by the minute across the nation, and have resulted in consumers accepting sub-par transmission quality that would prompt any landline subscriber to get on the horn to 611 post haste.

Landlines RULE! You want your national security communications system to use i-phones? I think not.
 
Land lines...

While I totally agree with you 100% about the scourge of cell phones upon our safety, peace of mind and general well-being, we've noticed that *EVERY* single month for the last year, AT&T has raised our "land line" bill with yet more and more new nickle-n-dime "fees and surcharges" from just under $40 to where it's now right at $50/mo. They've done it in small increments, like they think we won't notice. Only thing we have "extra" over a plain phoneline is CallerID, and a $10/mo. "long distance program" that we hardly ever use. All their "fees and surcharges" add up to just about one third of the whole bill!
