This is creepy...... I was able to search google and find a chrome extension all within 5 mins...... It works I tried it out on a picture I took at work..... It gave me the exact location of where I was at in the building.....

Have you ever noticed though that the news is stupid? They told people exactly how to do it.... now people CAN do it....... Now I can't wait till they tell people how to go online(and which websites) and get anyones credit card #'s...... ya people won't try this out they are all honest

Skype also has a major vulnerability. Skype for Android vulnerable to hack that compromises personal info -- Engadget Major issue with the database files it stores. Stores them in an unencrpyted format so all you need is a basic rogue app that doesnt need but 2 permissions and bam all your contact info is viewable and transmittable.

If a lot of information like this is collected it could be used to create a database like the one from the movie eagle eye!

This has been used since the 3GS and before was released. It's not new, but it is still pretty nuts. I don't know why that stuff is enabled by default.
