Carrier IQ installs keylogger on 140mil phones; Breaches wiretap laws

Phone 'Rootkit' Maker Carrier IQ May Have Violated Wiretap Law In Millions Of Cases.

tl;dr, some fucksock company managed to sneak in a root program that records every keystroke entered on a mobile phone before making a call, text message or internet browsing, which pretty much amounts to the textbook definition of a wiretap as far as phones are concerned. According to the article, Nokia, Android and RIM phones are the ones most affected right now.

Thankfully there does exist a way of removing it, if anyone here feels they might have it installed.

Not really - Apple tracks your coordinates instead.

As if there's anywhere around here that matters enough for Apple to care about anyway. XD

I like it when people use the word "gay" in any context other than a homosexual one - it only proves that they have the maturity of a five year old, as if their obsession with shooters didn't already do a good job of pointing that out. It's also pretty amusing that he pointed out Skyrim considering the fact that, y'know, it's set in the bloody medival era and doesn't even have muskets, let alone generic modern firearms.

But just for fun, let's play around with his logic a bit.

game - gun = gay
game + gun = -gay
game + gun + Arem = ???
