Lets hear some theories as to what the evil companies who sell us our phones are really doing with all the data we give them.
Such as my attic which now has my finger prints and that data could be shared with law enforcement potentially without my knowing consent as the tos could change at any moment really.
They could also be using my GPS data to tell when and how often I drive above the speed limit.
Any other ideas?

Fortunately for me, that won't happen if my bluetooth isn't turned on. By the way, just in case anyone was wondering, it's actually REALLY easy to hack someone who has bluetooth on.

I don't think so, I know its screamingly easy to decrypt the connection and that could be used to an extent, but to actually gain access when blue tooth requires user authentication.
Lets just say that if your hacked that way you only have one person to blame.

Every time I hear a Motorola Droid user complain when another android user calls his/her phone a Droid, it makes me blood bubble.
So in all fairness I shall never call my phone a Droid again if you (Motorola Droid users) agree to never call a airplane a plane.
Any other suggestions of what they might not be allowed to say anymore would be appreciated.

I agree. I call peoples "Droid" branded motorola devices Droids, but I happen to use the device id for every phone that I can recognize. If I can't recognize the make or model I simply call it a smartphone or "device" in general. I also correct people when they call their android powered devices Droids in general. I am kind of an ass like that

Yea I hate it when people are talking about upgrading to a "droid". You can instantly tell that they have no idea whats going on.
Abd then they ask if i have a droid or if thats a droid in myblife hand; mind you, im not mad at them ;;cause they simply don't know, but a captivate =/= droid.
Captivate 2.2.1 Paragon
I guess I'm alone on this side 'hides in corner'

It ticks me off when people say Droid because of the fact it's a LucasFilm name exclusively licensed by Verizon. The world doesn't rotate around Big Red, even though their customers seem to think it does. Verizon's reality distortion field bugs me greatly. It's half hilarious/half sad. I live in an area with very poor Verizon coverage. I know so many people with Verizon who complain constantly about poor service. When I ask them why they don't switch to AT&T they say... get this... "because Verizon has the best coverage/network/service/whatever." Sure, that's true in New York, San Francisco, D.C. But it's VERY much the opposite here. But you can never convince a Verizon customer of that, they're so brainwashed into believing it.

There probably is, and he's probably taking her phone when she's not looking (and you lot must be 12) but as a test have her send a text "It's over" To her own number, and make sure he doesn't have the phone in his hand, and that is the only way to find out if he is using external software. Or maybe there is a keylogger for android?

One of the popular way is www mobilespylogs com service or a similar something somewhere.
Ask her to take a Titanium back up or any other back up app but carefully back -up ONLY those apps and data which she needs and wipe away the lil punk's friend sitting in stealth mode in her phone.
If that doesn't help, it has to be social engineering. He's got a snitch on the inside else he's making it all up....

I came across a friend that has quite the ins at Oakley. In short, I can get literally any frame or goggle that is current, in store or on website. This is not a gimmick or scam, and minus a few friends that i've helped out im only going to do this for a couple weeks. I'd particularly liked if you bought more than one pair of either goggles or sunglasses. Can also get discounted clothing.
This stuff is 100% authentic from the store. Depending on the order you'd be saving roughly 20-45% per sunglass or goggle. PM me if you want, or just shoot a link in a pm to what you may want. Like i said this isn't going to last months, and I wont be able to take orders of 20 pairs for people to re-sell.
Figured I could help a few people that have helped me with this world of rom flashing and such. . .

Hey Jon.
How's Jersey treating you? Remember that time Snooki went woo and PLOP her ass on your boner and you thought you got herpes? Well, I've got some good news, and some bad news. Are you seated down. If you're not, please sit down. If you're seated, please make yourself comfortable. Not in that way, Jon.
Well, the good news, it's not herpes. I'm sure you're glad, right? The bad news is it's AIDS, so you're pretty much fvcked. I mean, you fvcked. Fvcked up, I mean. Not that I was watching you bang Snooki or anything, I'm sure any position would do, really. But the good news is that now you don't have to live that much longer with the humiliation of knowing that you banged Snooki. Which leads me to the final piece of bad news, since you were drunk that night. You banged Snooki.
Anyhows, I'll be chillin' in Malaysia 'til your wife says it's ok to come back to Jersey. She's loving it here, by the way.

Mr. Error, I bid you good day, despite the fact that you have utterly ruined mine, as well as others' so far. True to your moniker, you have more than managed to personify the very deification your status as the anthropomorphic personification of all that is wrong and erroneous in your time here.
Firstly, Miss Hěi is of a slightly more... sensitive disposition. While her mental and physical disabilities does contribute to her almost clubbing you to death with her umbrella, your childishly immature action of teasing her name by calling out to anyone sitting beside her warrants such response and it is the faculty's opinion that that you deserved it. Calling someone with Down Syndrome "poker face" is also socially frowned upon.
As such, I must inform you that you are now the official Teaching Assistant in the classroom, until and unless your next shenanigan caused further uproar and humour in the faculty whereupon you will be further elevated in the Clown School.
Retards.

To: 9493, Watt.
Subject: Demise of your partner.
Date: 19th october 2011
Mr 9493, it is with regret that I inform you that your partner Mr 9493, Volt has recently passed. However his life insurance merely covers accidental death and the U.S. Army does not extend DADT benefits retroactively. Accidental insurance could not be used to cover his procedures as he was last seen waving a machete and saying he was a samurai prior to dismembering his member. I quote, verbatim from the transcript that he was last heard yelling "Sakaiaikikikikikikiki" and that is seven kis which is two kis more than the company motto therefore also disqualifying him from the company insurance. However, I am able to offer you a stipend from the widowers' fund as long as you were able to furnish proper proof of matrimony, holy or not. Pictures of anal coitus is not sufficient proof of marriage or of civil union, merely of union, albeit from his face it seemed quite civil. Your adoption of his surname and insistence of it's usage is not evidence either.
As such, unless you furnish us with court admissible proof of civil union and/or marriage in fourteen (14) days from the date of this letter, we will close this file.
Thank you.
