Technology in the News!

         Recently, Apple came out with the new white iPhone 4. Which is thicker than the black iPhone 4. Also, apple has put some information out regarding the use your location link on their iPhones. On some smart phones when you are on the internet or on one of your many apps, it may say "do you want to use your location?" I, myself usually presses no, but can they still see where you are or not. If you do press yes, then that information is stored in the phone towers for up to a year. That can either be a good or bad thing. It can be a bad thing because the smart phone uses have no clue what the phone companie sare going to do with the information. Wither they are going to release it or keep it for their own records. My question is what why be the use of keeping those types of records just for the phone company? Why would they need or want them? What use would it do for them? It can be a good thing because if the police may want to use it to catch the criminals they are looking for. But what if the cell phone is in someone else's name but they are looking for you? Will they arrest your family member or friend for something you did? Lastly, if the information in the towers gets piled up what will happen? Will they transfer the left overs to another tower or erase it? When I looked this topic up they said it was a glitch in the software. But how is that posssible? Starting at keeping the information for only 5 minutes to up to a year, that is a very big difference. So I doubt if that was really a glitch or was it on purpose?
