Midknight Review -- new and revised: Apple and Google Collect User Data

Lots of trivia out there that is, well, trivial.

For starters, we have the evolving media scandal** that Apple IPhones and Google Android phones collect and store data and, if evil persons were to get their hands on either of these phones, your personal and [perhaps] financial life would be in a world of hurt.

Some facts: from what I can gather, the information collected is huge but stored for only a few months.

Some, if not most, of this data is used for refining the phone service and tracking trends that offer technological opportunities for the manufacturers.

You, we, have not had private lives for well over two decades. The cameras in your computer can be used to spy on you. Cookies in your computer allow the techno world to track your web searches, to load phony or unwanted information into your computer, and even into your browsers.

The rumor that "they" can track your every move is not exactly true. They use GPS "coordinates" to "triangulate" or discover your general location. Understand that if you think this means that someone is watching you, your every move, you being one out of 250 million cellphone users, well, you are just being a little silly.

And what is most amazing is the fact that now that we have a radical Lib in our White House, the evils of the Patriot Act are, strangely, are not so bad. Our privacy, under this Administration, has been violated to degrees that far exceed any of the Law and Order make-believe plots dealing with subject.

Turns out that snail mail and limited landline phone service are not bad things. At least, your privacy stands more in tact than otherwise. Me? I don't really care. The rage against the system must continue and "they" cannot stop that rage or bottle up the rebellion. We will take our nation back.

** Media scandal = is a problematic issue the media sits on and develops in order to make money. While the media does not invent most scandals, they are the ones to decide which stories to "blow up" and which to ignore. Fox is no less guilty of this than MSNBC or network news.

The Stated Nonsense from the Left now includes these Progressive goals:

July 2, 2008, Obama had this to say: "We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we've set. We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded."

MICHELLE OBAMA: "Barack knows that we are going to have to make sacrifices; we are going to have to change our conversation; we're going to have to change our traditions, our history; we're going to have to move into a different place as a nation."

“ . . . . . . they have become a generation of activists possessed with that most American of ideas – that people who love their country can change it.” -- Obama the Radical

On September 30, Van Jones told MSNBC "I think everybody should hold onto your seats. October is going to be the turning point when it comes to the progressive fight back."
