I love how
innovative the human mind can be, it has so many limitless potentials. However
it is the silent pause and the squander of fear that leaves me less than
complacent. I recently purchased the #GNII and while I love my device &
have come to the conclusion I no longer need my #Nexus7 I am left with a new
resolve. Be it the #Android #Jellybean OS to #WindowsPhone8 or #iOS the app
permissions and overall blanket is a bit of a concern. My data plan comes with
5GB of data which you would think logically is at my discretion but if I need
to tether I am to pay a fee or do what I was about to do and root my device,
not to take advantage or get over, but to use the data I paid for how I want
when and where I want. It also allowed me to delete applications I don’t intend
to use (however we are able to “hide” them my whole thing is why allow
something to take up space?) We shouldn’t have to hack our devices & risk unnecessary
damage carriers are too involved & Google you may fool the masses but I see
your plan from afar….
So Instead of rooting my Note II I
stopped and started reading some of the various app permissions (see below) and
then I had a moment of clarity. Its 2012 & I must consider the source. Am I
that naïve or poses such a false sense of security that rooting my device to
change these permissions or not installing certain apps, things like “reading
your sms/mms sending & deleting without you even seeing them, making calls,
using data , creating deleting accounts see passwords, RECORD audio, TAKE pictures;
All without me knowing? “I would be a fool to believe such privacy
would exist in today’s world. For the moment rooting isn’t needed because I
haven’t needed to use tether & not ready to take the ‘potential’ risk involved
even though I know how to root. The spam apps are hidden and not a bother at
this time.
If you never watched
Scandal (ABC, Olivia Pope) well there is a program that the government had that
if you type in someone’s name it accesses any satellite camera etc. of that
person #BIGBROTHER in total view. So don’t carry any data you wouldn’t want
someone else to see be it pictures or account data banking etc. Because let’s
face it, nothing is private, hell they probably listening to me type this out.
Perhaps it’s the wording used, or perhaps it’s simply just the world………….
Carriers should
focus on providing network coverage instead of nickel and diming us and we the
fools fall prey to these jacked plans and controlled elements. If I spend X
amount of dollars for a device what I Install or un-install should be my
choice, if I want to customize my software it should be my choice we PAY for
our devices whether you pay full retail upfront (me) or in installments on
contract. We are not free & I hope no one actually believes we are. From
the mic’s’ on our cell phones, to the cameras to the data sent, all can be
accessed at any time whether we “root” or not. This is unfortunate and at first
scary. But when I look @ how the world works I don’t expect anything less. It’s
all a shame all a game and a ploy. I don’t care to argue nor hear your defense
on why you may agree with some of the world’s practices. It’s one thing to do
the aforementioned out in the open and it’s another to deny and be sneaky about
it; SO I ask you what is in your phone? No Privacy…. No Freedom… both died a
long time ago & possible never existed. If you look @ history you will see
how things get more and more cloaked & natural rights taken away….just sit
and think off all the possibilities…..We are motivated by things we love…and
act on the things we fear…… Greed is the glue for evil & its lust for power
keep us unctuous….What moves you to the light of hope; Pleasure or Pain?
