creating a device that logs everything you type, takes pictures of you without you knowing it
The article you linked to supports neither of those accusations.
- mcantelon 16y agoClaim: "logs everything you type" Article: "The keyboard cache logs everything that you type in to learn autocorrect ... someone with know-how could recover months of typing in the order in which it was typed" Claim: "takes pictures of you without you knowing it" Article: "...the phone itself automatically shoots and stores hundreds of such images as people close out one application to use another." Article: "Every time an iPhone user closes out of the built-in mapping application, the phone snaps a screenshot and stores it"
- Anechoic 16y ago1 for 2: I missed the part about the keyboard cache (although unless the cache organizes the data in their original sentence structure, I don't see how useful it would be). However, taking screenshots /= "takes pictures of you"
- mcantelon 16y agoYou're right... I misread that (although secretly taking screenshots is also creepy).
