When Adam Savage, host of the popular science program “MythBusters,” posted a picture on Twitter of his automobile parked in front of his house, he let his fans know much more than that he drove a Toyota Land Cruiser.

Very interesting.. I didn't know that. I just checked a few of my recent photos and sure enough... there was the GPS tag. I'll have to disable the feature on my kids i-touchs.

 

Thanks for the heads-up.

 

Also disturbing.. and I know the article is to put information out there for people to be aware. It's a catch 22 as they say.... but its like drawing a map for the pedophiles.

yeah i find all the geotagging stuff kinda odd.... and all these apps where you can locate your friends... why would you want to do that?

[unit731]

why would you want to do that?

 

 

Perverts, voyeurs, thugs, deviants, miscreants, con-men, ex-husband/boyfriend, ex-wife/galfriend, bill collectors, and of course - the government, etc.

They sent an email around my office about this.. since we do a lot of work at millitary bases, we have to be careful... i just dont' take any pictures of anything and post them.. i usually take my personal camera sightseeing, but it's off base...
