Welcome to the IHoP

[Aaron Clinton 2,372]

Back from the gym.

I did squats and bent over rows, all went well, although I feel a very slight discomfort in my middle back. I did not go overboard with the workout since I haven't lifted anything in over 8 years

Sounds like you're doing it right

Sore legs and biceps today

Water, bananas, protein and rest.

The Android developer who raised the ire of a mobile-phone monitoring company last week is on the attack again, producing a video of how the Carrier IQ software secretly installed on millions of mobile phones reports most everything a user does on a phone.

Though the software is installed on most modern Android, BlackBerry and Nokia phones, Carrier IQ was virtually unknown until 25-year-old Trevor Eckhart of Connecticut analyzed its workings, revealing that the software secretly chronicles a user’s phone experience — ostensibly so carriers and phone manufacturers can do quality control.

But now he’s released a video actually showing the logging of text messages, encrypted web searches and, well, you name it.

Eckhart labeled the software a “rootkit,” and the Mountain View, California-based software maker threatened him with legal action and huge money damages. The Electronic Frontier Foundation came to his side last week, and the company backed off on its threats. The company told Wired.com last week that Carrier IQ’s wares are for “gathering information off the handset to understand the mobile-user experience, where phone calls are dropped, where signal quality is poor, why applications crash and battery life.”

The company denies its software logs keystrokes. Eckhart’s 17-minute video clearly undercuts that claim.

In a Thanksgiving post, we mentioned this software as one of nine reasons to wear a tinfoil hat.

The video shows the software logging Eckhart’s online search of “hello world.” That’s despite Eckhart using the HTTPS version of Google which is supposed to hide searches from those who would want to spy by intercepting the traffic between a user and Google.

Cringe as the video shows the software logging each number as Eckhart fingers the dialer.

“Every button you press in the dialer before you call,” he says on the video, “it already gets sent off to the IQ application.”

From there, the data — including the content of text messages — is sent to Carrier IQ’s servers, in secret.

By the way, it cannot be turned off without rooting the phone and replacing the operating system. And even if you stop paying for wireless service from your carrier and decide to just use Wi-Fi, your device still reports to Carrier IQ.

Most likely. If you don't like being monitored, a smart phone isn't a good thing to have.

You cant give it up once you own one, thats some bullshit right there though. It should be a felony to do that imo.

On the upside if you have an Android device you can just root it and install a custom ROM

[topgun 262]

I don't mean to sound like a tin foil hat person, but you think the stuff they show on TV shows on monitoring calls/cellphone use/gps/etc is fake? Sure, if your not a murdering felon I don't think you have anything to worry about, but if your worried about that kind of stuff, ditch the phones.

"They" can still monitor you.. it's extremely easy to intercept and hack wireless signals.

More or less invasion of privacy.

Not entirely fake, no. If the Federal Government believes you pose even the slightest threat to National Security, chances are good that they are ready willing and able to track/monitor you any way possible.

I have to buy bananas and protein

Chocolate milk is a pretty good after work out drink.

Lots of fats, proteins, carbs etc.

What would a company that tracks peoples usage on cell phones stand to gain from it besides monitoring for security reasons? For marketing purposes? I'm a little confused why that company would care what we google etc.

Google monitors more than you would ever think! lol

Directed ads, buying habits, listening habits, errors in the software your phone runs on, cellular service, etc

explains a lot how google uses your info..

Did he just power slide a 777?

Actually I believe they are able to rotate the landing gear a few degrees, because the aircraft is so large the wind knocks it off course during landing if there is a sidewind.

Nope the landing gear pretty much orientated forward.

He indeed did powerslide it lol.

Just saying it looks like a throttle on oversteer.
