Now that I've gotten that out of the way, Facebook's CEO says that he has noticed a drop of users. source
I cannot wait until I can say that. Well not right now because there is no one here yet but you know what I am trying to say. I hate that I find this Mark Zuckerberg guy kinda hot. From outside appearances he gives me a Fry from Futurama vibe which I find interesting, of course without the pumpkin colored hair.
You know, I think Fry will be the theme for today's post.
For all of you who have purchased an Iphone or Ipad recently, it is pretty safe to say that Apple probably already knew you were going to do so. Kinda creepy. Well they have this new tool that actually stores your precise locations built into these devices. They want to know when you take a shit, you'll have your iphone with you. Yes they are collecting real time geographical information as you read this post on your iphone and is sharing this information with their partners and licensees. They have this hidden in the terms of agreement when you download and install new apps. Didn't know that did you? Thats because you do what I and countless other people do, just scroll down real quick and hit I agree. I mean who has time to read all that shit? Apple knows you don't.
You can opt out of this by going into the Location Services page under settings and opt out. I wonder why there isn't any outrage about the privacy settings on this machine and yet a website is experiencing troubles due to their privacy settings? I think the point of it is that they want to get you to buy things that are in your vicinity so its sort of like spam, but more accurate spam. Instead of regular spam like trying to get you to buy viagra (just wait they will know if you will need that too based on which houses you visited recently) they will try to get you to the nearest apple store or hipster clothing shop down the street from you.
