There is an article in EE times warning people Google is tracking your
Android, just like they track your Google searches. I suspect the
phone will be getting spam next. If nothing else it will be likely
that it steers you to sites that pay Google ... like a google search.

Wow. Google is tracking my cell phone. Oh, the horror of it. :)


I'm not a warlock . . . I'm you!

If spam and being led to sites that pay google for the traffic is not
a problem for you, rock on dude. You only have to hope that is all the
corporations will do with the data they collect.
It might be troubling for some kids if everything they look at on
their phone shows up when they are in a job interview. Being
blindsided at work by their tweets and facebook posts is already
happening.
It is just a matter of time before that includes a profile built on
your web browsing.

Of course the government is already doing that.

Damn, they'll know I'm spending all this time looking for a diesel engined
pickup!
