I'm OK, I have a mobile phone, not a cell phone.
Cheers,

I sense scares being mongered.
Not watching the video, the words around it are too hysterical. Is it saying you need to turn off geotagging by any chance?
synopsis please same reasons as Gofasterstripes.
that is legitimately terrifying
Thats tomorrows Daily Wail headline sorted .
Where's that thread about people you instantly dislike for no good reason? I have a new entry - Russ Ptatohead or whatever his name was. Lasted about 2 seconds of him and that was it.
synopsis please same reasons as Gofasterstripes.
If you have a cell phone, then paedophiles are hiding under your bed.
I'm presuming its tinfoil hat time? Sinister agents of the state are tracking my every move....

yes
I got as far as
[i]Hackers can track down you and your kids[/i]
and shit myself so much that I smashed my iPhone with a hammer and ran.

To be fair, geotagging/privacy issues are a legitimate concern that some people probably are not aware of.
The links text/video is just very Brasseye in it's execution.
Thank goodness there were no cell phones or paedophiles when I was a kid.

aye-- it was all flagged up by semaphore--
Can I some out from under my desk yet? I've eaten my iphone
When I take a photo, even in just the regular camera app, Google Goggles has a go at trying to figure out what it is. Presumably it uploads the photo to 4 different Google datacentres which run an algorithm on virtualised hardware spread across 16 different CPUs, intercepted by the NSA during the upload, download and every communication in between, all so it can tag my bike with 'Money Pit'
Wow, I thought it was only [s]morons[/s] FaceBook 'friends' who posted carp like that
That's not your desk, Binners.
And that's not a phone you're eating.
lol exif data, it's been around for years and its well known about. there are even tool around that can take folders of pictures and plot the exif data across devices and map it onto google maps.

That's the way things are on the Island, PMJ!
I speak from experience.
I'm normally said man. 😈
what a complete crock of shite.
I must immediately share this with all friends!!!! Now!!!
I reckon cars are equally as bad. They give paedophiles the means to drive around areas looking for houses with kids playing outside them.
Damn - even feet - I mean then they can walk around parks and the like looking at the children playing there.
No the eyes THE EYES, they allow them to see.
Problem solved - blind all males over the age of 10 - that'll learn 'em...

I read an article a while back that said something along the lines of Apple being apple to freeze your camera in certain areas- e.g. around important government buildings or sensitive areas.
Edit: Here it is.. http://www.infowars.com/apple-granted-patent-to-disable-cameras-according-to-location/
Should add that it dosen't bother me, whether its true or not.
WTF? Thats just a patent on the idea, no-ones actually using it. Apple probably filed it as a form of patent trolling to stop someone else doing it.

Safe in the knowledge that nobody will ever know when and where I took this photo:

Thats the best yet, I think Jamie
my new android phone knows where I work
absolutely no clue where it picked it up from
obviously I have input my work address on something, I just don't know where
Needs Rod Hull up there fixing the aerial, Jamie....
I've eaten my iphone
Binners...i would have happily hit it with a hammer for you first...make it easier to chew.. 😉

You fool! You'll be tracked for life!I've eaten my iphone
......or until the battery dies in 5 minutes!
lol, I thought this kind of paranoia died out in the 70s when everyone stopped taking acid...

That's the [url= http://www.google.co.uk/landing/now/ ]Google Now[/url] function. You can switch it off if it bothers you.
For more info log into your gmail account online and select "Account" then "dashboard" then look at location history....
google are clever enough to realise that if you're at one location most of the time between 9-5 during the week, it's probably your work location. Similar for home in the evenings... You can turn it off as above.
Facebook has started emailing me at my work email to tell me what my facebook friends are up to.
If I wanted to know what they were up to I would look on facebook. However, I do find it pretty odd that fb contacts me in this way, as my work email address is not linked to my account in any way, and is not really in the public domain.

Jimmy Saville announced as new pope! 😯
I've taken loads of pictures of my knob with geotagging turned on and I've had not once single contact from anyone who wants to molest or take advantage of me.
Can I sue the daily mail?
Samuri - you will have to hold it closer, they are probably just confused you want to help them go fishing by providing the bait.
Thing with posting photos on Fb, and some other social media, is that Fb automatically strips out geolocation data, so nobody could find out where the photo was taken anyway.
Unless you put into the litle box, 'here's a photo of the kids in the paddling pool in the garden!', and all your personal data is on Fb as well.
But only a complete idiot would put all that info up there, anyway...
wait a minute... 🙄
The Google Now function is ACE! I can be sitting on my sofa and it helpfully informs me that I am 27mins from home. Thanks Google!
surroundedbyhills - Wow! How big is your sofa?
Probably has a sofa like this:

Love the "hackers" hysteria.
Yeah because only l33t hax0rs know about the EXIF data on photos - which can be displayed in pretty much any photo viewer or website.

#Next time they will be hacking into your browser....
Love it - if you go to the loo and leave your laptop unlocked, unattended and running Google Chrome then crafty hackers may peek at your ultra-secret passwords...
...or then again they might just walk off with your laptop!
FTFYIs that [s]that[/s] mosque in Brighton?
Hemel Hempstead.

Whereas I had a call from the Woburn Zoo, asking why I had one of their pythons trapped against a plate glass window.

I'm here all week, try the waitress, tip the steak.
Someone's trademarked 'kaboom'?
Yes, Red Bull.
The thing is, the concept of "one of the masses" becomes important here.
i.e.:
1 person has a geotagging phone, well yup, they could quite easily be tracked.
100 people have geotagging phones, yup still easy to track
10,000 people have geotagging phones, gonna need some sort of computer to do it, but you could keep track of them all
1,000,000 people have geotagging phones, Mainframe time!
100,000,000 people have geotagging phones. Chances of trackig em all, and it being you they track, well, practically nill.
So, how many mobile phones with GPS and cameras were sold last year?

Lol.. Can't believe the Guardian would get so worked up over something so obvious. Whoever leaves their computer unlocked in a public place is an idiot. Next week's scoop: if you leave your house open you are at risk from burglars!
100,000,000 people have geotagging phones. Chances of trackig em all, and it being you they track, well, practically nill.
Chances of tracking them all: certain, there's a big kurfuffle about it in the news at the moment, take a peek. Besides, it's just data - would you really be surprised that if you put enough computers together you'll be able to process loads of data? There are only 7 billion people on the whole planet - I have more bytes than that on a chip the size of my toenail.
Chances of it being you they track? It's already happening, they're just not using the data they've gathered about you against you. Cause they promised not to, basically.
Next they'll be sending a document to your house every 10 years asking where your place of work is and what your religion is etc....

Eh, what? That's outrageous, questions need to be asked!
And in London the bin ninjas are at it...
