My final thread

I'm glad the iPhone is working out for you. And... that's a nifty use of the android devices.
Good to see you Charles. I hope everything is going well for you.
 
Anyone who uses any Google product and expects any modicum of privacy is fooling themselves. Google is an advertising company and ALL their products are geared at delivering ads directly to you based on data collected via their products. Google has done an excellent job of disguising itself as a 'tech' company but they are first and foremost an advertising company. Ask Matt: Is Google a tech or ad company?

So, would you rather have the NSA sniffing your data or advertisers? In my book, they both inhabit the same cesspool so it really doesn't matter.

If you want privacy, use a VPN or something similar and never stray off the path.

So after having the iPhone5S for a few months... I really like it. At this point in my life I like the simplicity of it, and I like the size even though I thought I wouldn't. It really isn't a small phone with the Mophie Juice Pack case, but I can use it all day and still only charge it every other day. I do miss my customized ringtones and notification tones though, and the LED.

I've kept my old android phones around and turned them into motion activated surveillance for my house. I stripped everything off the phones (no maps, gmail, messaging, etc) and all that is on there now is my security camera app and dropbox. Motion activated, uploads automatically to dropbox, and notifies my instantly if there is any movement. A lot cheaper and better than paying a security company to monitor an alarm at my house with no video evidence IMO.

glad u like it..

on the motion sensor..
what sensor are you suing to do this?
what is the distance it can sense motion?
 
Fair play OP! It's nice to see an honest post!

I've never owned an iPhone, but never say never. I do like apple products. But then I've also got nostalgia for basic, old classic phones with WAP!

It's true about google, but they only have what you give them. Bit of a shame for them really, that people choose to be distant from them because of all this. I think Facebook are much better at getting personal out of people but then I have to ask, "what information?" Facebook is full of wannabe attention seeking information.
 
Should we all crack open some beers? :D

Let's be careful where this goes;)...don't want this to end up in P&CA...this is a farewell thread, not discussion about Google/NSA etc, k? Thanks :)
 
I'm glad you are happy with your choice. Also, thank you for reporting back about your thoughts on switching to an iPhone.
 
It's the final count down bruizer!
