YOUR IPHONE IS WATCHING every move you make and the Cupertino Cabal knows all about it according to Wired.
Insecurity expert Jonathan Zdziarski has found that the phone takes a temporary snapshot of pretty much everything you ever do on your touchy-feely phone.
It’s all in the name of aesthetics, says Apple. The sneaky screen grab is used to make the swooshy genie effect, which sweeps your current page off of the screen in a very pretty manner, whenever you hit the ‘home’ button.

The file is immediately ‘deleted’ from the directory but, as anyone who knows anything about data storage is well aware, deletion does not permanently remove the actual ones and zeroes from the storage media, as many a criminal who has been busted by digital forensics will attest (stand up Mr Glitter).
So if you’re planning a heist… don’t do it on your Iphone. µ

Lord Elrond says: all you patriot dudes out there,if you want to see the ideal survival-patriot super-hottie lady (not “R” rated) strictly “PG”,then go to DontTreadOnME.tv and click on “Testamonials”, click the video link that pops up and see such a fine lady that really pours out her heart to the patriots and tells about how she is trying to wake people up and stuff like that. The world needs more tough women like her.Indeed.

Apple is a ‘cabal.’
If you want a ‘cabal,’ look at MicroSoft.

OH MY GOD! You mean (gulp!) it’s actually STORING something I do temporarily and then DELETING it????
I’ve never heard of such technology!
Truly evil. I’m glad the press alerted us to this monstrous practice.
