As I noticed a couple of years ago, I hadn't even been aware of       "fused location", and I only found that because it use "location" in its       name. Well, even assuming the phone can track me, I use it only for very       limited browsing when I'm out. I have no pay or banking apps on it.              --       Jeff              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
