To give the full rundown would take me a small thesis to write.
We spent about 3 hours discussing it... It was very frank and very in depth.
I have noticed that whenever one of my apps wants to be updated it asks for permissions to my personal contacts, account info, and other things the app has nothing to do with.
Tin foil hat aside, this is the more obvious and fundamental undercurrent of hidden agenda.
The lesser known are things such as word and voice recognition, tactile utilization, GPS, etc. It goes deep. Second thing discussed was the fact that these "subversive" hidden apps and shadow programs are asked to be implemented by higher governmental agencies, in Canada the CRTC, in the States the FCC and levels of admin higher than those - throughout the world - the agencies responsible for doling our access and authorization. According to "some", RIM/Blackberry refused to implement these shadow programs...this was a couple years back. It's interesting to see where they are now. Furthermore, interesting to see the level of press (the sheer magnitude) that all syndicated news streams are touting the 5S by Apple. I mean - this is the perfect fuckin' scam - everyone wants one, everyone has one, the popularity is astounding, here we are as a collective populous buying them and buying into them, and no one's the wiser that in these lil' delightfully addictive consumer products, there's stuff being tallied, observed, correlated, tracked and analyzed.
Seriously. It's kazy. I'm meeting with these clients again this week - should be good. I'll see what else we talk about.
