facebook does a different thing. It does not allow any casing(sp?). It allows only the right and the reverse and first letter in uppercase. Blizzard seems to uppercase the given password and hashes that. This method makes a lot of wrong pas

Make sure your sdcard is wiped too. Test this scenario. Under Android the wipe external storage sometimes does not work.

No. I think what he is saying is that they will extract the data anyway. Whether they are allowed to or not. If it's that simple they will do it. Better be safe than sorry.

This might work unless facebook decides to change the privacy settings so the pictures are suddenly not private anymore. No thanks! I consider everything I send to a server with facebook in its name to be public. Maybe not now, but in the n

And do they host only the encrypted version of that data? Encrypted to the people you share it with? Not decryptable by Everyme? That would be something really new and useful. Almost revolutionary!

How does the carrier know when a message is _read_? In GSM networks _delivery_ reports are a SMS feature. You get a delivery report when the SMS is delivered to the phone.

Isn't the messaging xmpp based? Does my xmpp client tell fb that I read a message? I understand this can work on the web where fb has full control.

Is the password written to disk if I am not using FileVault or FileVault2 in Lion? Even then, I would not want my password be written to disk. This would be a serious problem for me.

Not at all if your Android device does not support the Google Accounts in the first place. It was really difficult with the ADP1/G1 back in 2008. But meanwhile it is not that difficult if you don't want to use the Google services.

GMail does not require STARTTLS. I am sure you can send email to GMail accounts with unencrypted SMTP. Just look at the incoming "Received" headers. If they do not contain a "cipher=" section, the connection was not encrypted. I think what

Doing the reverse might be easier. In Android you can see several access points and their strength. You can trilaterate or record fingerprints. And it works anywhere where there is at least one or two visible wifis. No special infrastructur

Yeah, those WiGLE guys are really not helpful. I drove around several weeks and mapped thousands of new APs for them. They didn't even answer my email regarding offline use.

It is possible (without jailbreaking) with an enterprise certificate. But I agree, its ridiculous that you need the manufacturers approval to deploy software _you_ have written on a device _you_ have bought and paid in full.

There is another way to transfer the data off the device. You can make another app, that has the same sharedUserId and that app has the internet permission. That app can see the data of the non-permission app and send the collected data via

They are not completely useless. If a user doesn't want an app to send or receive SMS or make calls this can be prevented by permissions. This is true for several other permissions.
