After about a day of spotty or no Blackberry data service in North America, it is slowly returning. Millions of Blackberry users had hips that were not buzzing due to a faulty switch that caused outages across several continents. This has been the largest RIM service failure in years. With many customers and investors already losing faith in the communications giant, this was definitely not a good look. Hopefully for their sake (and mine since a I’m a BB fan), this isn’t a sign of things to come.
Apple made headlines when it was discovered that iPhones and iPads use their built in gps transceivers to track and record their owners where abouts. Even more disturbing is the fact that the feature can’t be turned off. Well all you Android os phone users, no need to feel left out. Apparently Android devices do the same thing. It’s believed that this info is used for location based add campaigns, but only the manufactures know for sure.
