  6. Welcome to the joys of modern internet. When you log into something like google, it basically tracks all your movements over the web.

    Ever noticed you get a lot of adverts now for pages you have previously looked at? Its the same thing......

  10. 'Tis, I'm afraid, a sign of the times. I work in the Biz, and it causes me great distress - privacy really is a thing of the past.

    Google are the likely culprits. Make sure you log out on both devices.
     
  11. i mean i wouldnt know, not something ive ever searched for......uh:oops:
     
  12. I was told by my brother in law that my phone knows where it is all the time and someone with the right software can locate my posistion
    Is this true?

    Yes.

  16. Turn your phone off Para quick .....
     
  17. No need it goes flat that quick it wil turn itself off soon

    I may sell it and go back to my brick
     
  18. Yes and no. If you've got GPS turned on, then your phone knows where it is, but it's likely not running all the time as it drains the battery. It's unlikely anyone could interrogate your phone for it's position without software on the phone agreeing to it.

    Never trust anything that brother-in-laws or neighbours say ;)...

    This is not true Snotty, not only can you tell where he is, but you can access his camera and watch what he's doing. :eek:
