I'm pretty sure that anytime I make or receive a call, that my
approximate location is being logged. This has been true for years and
it's not done by GPS. The iPhone tracking is done by GPS but my GPS is
turned off. This means that I'm probably not giving out GPS data. No
matter, all cell phones have to use a network of cell towers - the
locations of which is being logged whatever the capabilities of your
phone. I don't give a crap about the iPhone "leaking like a sieve."
That's pretty much old news.

I'm might be chicken little but I'm not preaching. I understand the
price we pay for using technology and I'll accept it to whatever degree
the I want to. My bitch is that the Android apps have too much control
over our phones and we don't have enough control over the apps. My
comments are not directed at the iPhone. The Apple apps keeps the user
in the dark so the situation is pretty murky. My guess is that Apple
keeps a tight reign over it's third party apps but I believe that's not
the case with the Android OS.

I don't know anything about your life but the posts about your
breakfasts would seem to confirm your observation.
