Like I said its back in the box, I know apple is just as bad/worse- My question, or rather my curiosity is why everyone just like sheep goes along with this? Like no one in this tread, attempted to answer the question or even state why they are ok with this- its like having a camera in front...

Ha ha, but really no one cares that their info can be taken or 3rd party Chinese app developers can use your camera and mic at will?

No, its a dongle style with a string, you just keep it in all the time.

Hey still birth- as mentioned in the post- *(know the nex 7 doesn't have phone) and you can have a non hosted account with the device. Going back to the point of the post: Can I prevent excessive permissions? Or WTF is this Nexus really doing to erode privacy? This is exactly what you are...

Question about permissions- most apps from very reputable brands are requesting microphone recording, video & picture taking, contact access, phone access, and SMS access when they don't need it.- *(know the nex 7 doesn't have phone) also the updates on the weekend for the google apps almost...

Ok so I think I understand the mode of this forum is just to sweep any security issues under the rug. If we don't see them they do not exist. Look at it this way- You guys are way more committed/invested financially to android- to promote this forum and want to sweep any legitimate, valid...

Wow. Are you ignorant. Your level of technical comprehension is incredibly low- if you don't know how google play works. Read the paper, there is no vetting mechanism for apps. Basically anyone can design anything and it can suck data from the majority of most popular apps. Just because...

spoke w. best buy & london drugs- they are getting them.

I would like to lockdown maybe via a firewall to prevent apps and the OS from phoning home. I noticed this after I hacked the itouch and installed a firewall, apple phoning home when you open the settings for example. And stuff like this in android- CyanogenMod code fixed to prevent unlock...

I would like a rear camera, had one in my 4th gen itouch- great for scanning barcodes. Coming from apple, I am a little leery about buying the new 32g one- but its only 250 check this- spring 2013 tegra 4 Nvidia Tegra 4 chip leak whets appetite for non-iOS tablets | Nanotech - The Circuits Blog...

Its like a the well made Zune with a cheap screen and expensive keyboard. It's the price, they should have released this one HP style- lose money on it for a year to get adoption rates up 10-30m sold, then introduce a true ipad competitor with better screen, processor, GPS, etc at an ipad...

I really think its going to be interesting, you have apple with the new ceo- Mr. recycle, and MS with their win8, which is pretty lame/inconsistent UI, specs & price creates a gap opening (wider) for android. I think apple can rest on its laurels for a couple yrs because MS is totally loosing...

What do you guys think?

I watched the live event today just to see how they would sell it. Its such a load of crap, the whole marketing of apple- myths and lies. Like making things like friction welding, hybrid drives and mini pads something their engineers invented, made and brought to the world. Its more like...
