Here is a link to an article on CNN that talks about how you are being tracked by your iphone everywhere you go even if your "location settings" are turned off. I downloaded the program from the article and sure enough, all of my steps were there. Pretty creepy. This is for all of you guys that need to fly under the radar.

reminds me of a TV show on WAR in the 1980's-- a old Soviet General ( one of those guys with more medals, and big ones, then chest) when he was asked how they beat the Germans who had all this new eq. super new technology---

"That a equal amount of non technology can defeat technology "


The Off switch when you want to disappear and a second cheapo phone in the name of some one you don't care like for starters . All the programs in the phone to get lost will get beat,you have to go back to the basics. Maybe -do I dare say it--- even A pay phone???

along the same lines, alot of the new phones that are equiped with gps geotag (embed lat & long coordinates) your photos. you can disable this setting, but most people dont. I know i didnt realize that this was being done until it was pointed out to me by a friend.
