Twitter Update


You may have noticed that just lately all your Twitter apps have changed. This is because Twiter is now using 'OATH' and the apps you have been using can no longer store your password. Tweetader is one that has changed, with  a few additions, and unfortunately one facility they have dropped is the 'refress button'.
Twitter are rolling out a new home page to enable you to link to all your favourite social sites. I suspect that we will be having targeted ads on our home pages shortly, similar to those on Facebook.
I have updated  the tweaks and techniques you can use to get more from Tweetadder and Twitter. the page is here. Hope you like it!

You are about to lose ALL YOUR PRIVACY

If you thought the last post gave you some cause for alarm, wait until you read what is being planned.
About 12 months ago Apple lost a court case prohibiting people unlocking their phones, and going with a cheaper tariff, and allowing people to run third party apps on their phones. At the same time, Apple were applying for a patent to collect and store customer information, in order to wipe the phone clean, and disable it in the event of it being stolen. Good news you may think: well think again.
Apple intend to fit a microphone to their cell phones, which will record and transmit data back to Apple as long as the phone is turned on. Apple will also have the ability to record what you say on your phone, and your surfing habits.
The phone will also take a photograh of the person using the phone without them realising, and it will take a photo of your surroundings.
Apple will know where you have been, where you are now, what stores you have beeen into, what you have said to your doctor or solicitor,what websites you have visited, they will also know what you have said on our phone, and if you put you phone on your bedside cabinet, well you can guess what will happen.

Are we Losing all Our Privacy?

Do you Care about surrendering you Privacy?

When you go into a small town or a large city, you are continually being tracked on CCTV.Big Brother [ the government] claims it is for our own good, and to be honest the police do make good use of this facility, in dealing with crime., as well as the security services. Big Brother claim if you are honest you have nothing to lose, except your privacy.
Your mobile phone is continually being tracked, every few seconds your phone sends a signal out saying ‘I can see 4 wi-fi networks with these signal strengths’, the response comes back ‘OK you are at the corner of High St. and Main St.’ leaving a traceable trail of where you have been. You can get a piece of free legal software from Locate which will trace and track a mobile phone. So where is your privacy now?
  • But you are honest with nothing to hide!
  • How would you like your ‘ex’ to know your every move?
  • What about your employer, when you phone in to work saying you are sick?
  • Does your company approve of its reps being tracked by its competitors?
  • What about your mother tracking you when you go for a night out?
