Log Information

-telephony log information like your phone number, calling-party number, forwarding numbers, time and date of calls, duration of calls, SMS routing information and types of calls.

Why the hell do they need that information for?!

 

[Bim]

I dunno about this, i admit i'm a little apprehensive and have been trying to cut back how much info i share.

Because of this i'll be using a new search engine & Google = FAIL!

if they will allow google to save all this info then every other search engine will do this.

not really, have a few search engines that hide my IP and more

 

[dark_b]

what do you mean hide IP? hide from who?

 

[NHawk19]

Where this really gets scary is those who have android cell phones.

 

[Donut]

This is why for most stuff. I use a dummy email & fake names & some random number & I say **** you to entering any Credit Card info. **** them up their stupid asses

Still want a Android...

Look,....Google hasn't been "good" for years. They reek of NWO or something. The only time Google and Facebook were on our side recently, was the whole SOPA and PIPA bills.

unlike google which doesn't hide your IP when you search the other search engines I use do hide mine from sites I visit or just searching around

So looks like I may be switching over to WP.

Yeah well the big concern is that this will become the norm for all smart phones. Someone's going to have to create and OS that's profitable on it's own without adds etc.

This whole thing though makes me want a Zack Morris phone back.

i still dont understand what you mean.

how do you know that your IP is not visible?

 

[dark_b]

the problem with android is that its SO good to me. its fantastic. its open source and its free.

the only way they will be able to track the info from the phone IMO is if we will use the official android that we get with the phone and official updates. but if we will root the phone and use a different version they will not be able to track it. the problem is that a rooted phone doesnth ave warranty

 

[enterthemadness]

Well, dark b, what about the pre-paid/no contract androids? Those are older generation I believe.

IP, lets sites know your PC number and such, the sites I use says they don't let sites see my IP and did use a test and my IP while using the search engines is not the same on my PC, so I'm hidden

 

[Lily Adler]

What are these magic search engines you speak of, Morg?

Does it involve a deal with a certain being.

i dont understand how can a search engine show or not show your IP on SHH or comingsoon.

Morg uses his mod powers....

 

[Morg]

Morg uses his mod powers....

actually I read up on forums about search engines, hiding IP and more
It's how I figured out blocking all the ads and pop ups

 

[dark_b]

i thought that we can block IP's with a software and not a search engine like google and yahoo

 

[Morg]

yes and no. Depends how you block/change the IP
