I was gonna say, didn't google face similar accusations for illegal tracking of your movements. haha

But you had the option to turn it off on android:)

as far as I knew it wont go off even if you did turn it, I tried asking but all tried Asking but all I got was an insult to my fanboysm

Not only that Google tells you that it is or will track your location. Unlike the Iphone which not only denied it but did not give you any option to turn it off nor did it warn you.

again there are many options and warnings that ask if u want location services and if diagnostics can be sent to apple… check it

i dont understand how this is a problem at all... u just tap the switch and its off on the ockscree... how is that a security threat?

This is just an woopsie not a threat. And is fairly limited.

i gues… i just dont see why its on every tech site when there is a switch right below the enable lockscreen combo…

You must admit apple and some of its fans talk about apple being perfect to everything so sites like to remind they are humans and make mistakes.

Seems like a careless mistake- something I am surprised Apple didn't test/realize.
Amazing how so much thought and technology goes into software, yet the basics aren't checked or double checked.

It bypasses security because Siri is actually GladOs. And GladOs controls EVERYTHING MWAHAHAHAHA!

Call play catching up, just push it out the market first so we can get credit and patent it. hahah.
7. iwebdroidberry7 posted on 20 Oct 2011, 16:10 3 1
You mean like almost everything Google puts its name on?
24. cncrim posted on 20 Oct 2011, 18:53 1 0
Sure did like pull down Notification Bar, OTA.
Btw, curve glass too haha however she perfect it.

BB had the pull down notification bar first, and OTA's were NEVER exclusive to Android. And the Dell Venue Pro came out before the Nexus S.

no bb didn't have a pull down notification bar fist than android you had to go to the main screen to see what's going.

It doesn't seem like much of an issue if you can turn it off in settings. Maybe they should ship it with the setting off by default.

Yeah, I thought I saw a screen shot of the iPhone where you can set it to allow Siri to bypass the lock screen. In any case, I find it unusual to have this setting for Siri only. If you are going to allow Siri bypass the lock screen, why put a lock screen in the first place? They should have left the option out of Siri and just let the user turn off the lock screen if they do not care for having their phone secure.

There's a "report" button on every comment. Don't be afraid to use it.
17. The_Miz posted on 20 Oct 2011, 17:19 3 5
-_- But you guys have moderated comments without the report button. Come on, it's clear they're trolling. I don't think it's fair to block me for two days and they still get to troll various articles.
20. protozeloz posted on 20 Oct 2011, 18:28 1 3
I hit report every time I saw you and your lame android jokes and it took PA took various months to ban you for a few days

What?
43. protozeloz posted on 21 Oct 2011, 05:01 0 0
in plain english they banned you because I've being pressing the report button to all of your offensive comments and your attitude and you gave them reasons with your"can't touch me "actitude

It's not their job to babysit, it's to provide content. They are really quick to pull the trigger it seems unless things get really out of hand. Right now, we're just debating, no one is getting out of hand with it.

remix has been trolling all day

It's their job to practice their own standards while providing questionable content. There's no debating here, it's just people stealth trolling and PA not doing a thing about it.
36. Whateverman posted on 20 Oct 2011, 22:23 0 0
They are just here to provide content, not tell you what you want to hear. Disagreeing with PA is cool, but you guys start calling out writers like they owe you. I can bitch if they moderate my post, it's THEIR website! They can say what can and can't happen on THEIR comment section. And if they think I'm too combative, I think they have every right to kick me off their site. Obviously, they don't think remix is doing constitutes "trolling".

Feel free to stop reading our "questionable content". And make sure to stop trolling. Next time we see a comment from you, complaining about trolling, we being biased or the content quality, you will get banned.

Well said. Rather than complains we should see them taking action, if they want this site to be better they should start with themselves as if both could be called as respectful members of the site
14. The_Miz posted on 20 Oct 2011, 16:37 2 8
Exactly. People are still coming into Apple articles and trolling, yet PA does nothing to them.
22. Whateverman posted on 20 Oct 2011, 18:31 4 2
You know you're bad when fellow iPhone fans think you deserve to be banned.

This is true. haha.

Why don't you come ban me then.

Miz, the last thing you ever want is for me to be coming at you! I'm not mad at you, or trying to get tough with you, but I'm like the WuTang Clan...I ain't nothin to fu*k with! I'm just saying...
