With all due respect those users are morons. Color is, rightly, proud of their "snooping" technology. People who use Color will probably know it records audio through the microphone.
I guess that makes me a moron, because I had no clue it was doing this.
It also makes me glad I uninstalled it. Not that it actually worked anyways.
But your arrogance isn't unique I guess. I just hope you know pretending to be better than others doesn't actually make it true.
- 18pfsmt 16y agoI think you are taking his comment to personally. I don't think anyone thinks you are a moron for not knowing, but because of the sensitive nature of the data on any of my computing devices, I'm extremely paranoid. I certainly don't install anything the day it is announced. I read the launch coverage (several different blogs, actually), and this information was available in those posts. It's easy to get caught up in the hype, but it only takes one time getting "burned" to learn from that.
- asymptotic 16y agoI take my comment back, I apologise. I've just realised that the Apple App Store does not clearly tell users what permissions a given application requires. Go to any application on the Android Market, e.g. https://market.android.com/details?id=com.groceryking&feature=search_result https://market.android.com/details?id=com.groceryking&fe... and then click on "Permissions". Before installing anything on an Android you can immediately and clearly tell what it's going to do. Do I want my shopping list application to be able to directly make phone calls? I don't think so, hence I won't install this app. Does this exist on the Apple App Store? Honest question, I've never used it.
