http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/46750035/ns/technology_and_science-security/#.T2Ja_6gRZ8E On Feb. 14, agents at the FBI Regional Computer Forensics Lab in Orange County were unable to get past Dears' "pattern lock," Soghoian explained; without Dears' Gmail username and password, their efforts to crack his phone came to a standstill. This prompted the FBI, on March 9, to serve Google with a warrant, which was granted the day it was filed, Ars Technica reported. In its search warrant request, the FBI wants Google to divulge Dears' Social Security number, account login and password, all emails and contacts stored on the phone, all texts sent and received, (including photo and video messages), the time and duration of every Web page he visited and all search terms, Internet browsing history and GPS data Google has stored for the phone from June 1, 2011, through Jan. 17, 2012. |

It's a good thing I never get jury duty as I don't care how many homeless teenagers he's beaten,I'd find him not guilty on grounds of having a bidness named "Pimpin' hoes Daily". Mofo has his PhD in Mackology. You see, a pimp's love is very different from that of a square. |

And this is why I am moving away from using google as my OS provider.
That privacy policy crap, I just cannot put up with it for much longer. I don't need Google having access to where the hell I am at, 24/7 and then have the liability of having that data be accessed by some LE agency? That's some scary shit, if you think about the mass scale of how bad this could be? They wouldn't need to put a damn GPS tracker on your car........they just give google a warrant, and use your fucking phone. You won't even notice a damn thing. Can't find what they didn't have to plant, and it would be accessible from anywhere you had an internet connection (think 3g/4g hotspot could make this thing 100% mobile). They could also mine your past activities, and pretty much be able to guess where you would be at with a pretty good probability, considering that you wouldn't be tipped off that you were being tracked. Since most people do pretty much the same thing every day, and on the same day of the week, you could pretty much know what someone would do, within about 90% accuracy, on any given day at any given time. Scary shit, I say. |

My pattern lock would be easy to break. Just follow the trail of grease and cheetos powder. I stick mine in my pocket so the inside of my pocket wipes it clean every time I walk around with my phone. But I know what you are saying. The only solution is to use ALL of the dots!

Doesn't the FBI have anything better to do than chase pimps and ho's? No? Then get rid of them. I can only think of one justification for the FBI to investigate a prostitution ring and its pretty unlikely for a guy in San Diego to be running his hos in Arizona. Even if it happened that way, the fact that FBI has time to do this indicates that they have too much funding. |

In the 90s Private Industry Balked at the idea of doing anything to help Feds read people's comms. They were asked to use the Clipper Chip, and pissed all over it, making it a failure. Today though they cannot wait to get in bed and assist. Right Thats why the FBI had to get a warrant Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile |

You give up a lot of privacy with any modern smart phone. Google centralizing Android and their penchant for storing EVERYTHING forever just make it that much worse. The real jack asses use $10.00 dump phones and change them out frequently. ... I'm having a hard time believing the FBI got stumped by a pattern lock though. If anything, a direct disk read should give them everything stored on the phone. Android doesn't encrypt anything by default. |
