Luke.H 33 Posted November 30, 2011 What would a company that tracks peoples usage on cell phones stand to gain from it besides monitoring for security reasons? For marketing purposes? I'm a little confused why that company would care what we google etc.Google monitors more than you would ever think! lolDirected ads, buying habits, listening habits, errors in the software your phone runs on, cellular service, etcexplains a lot how google uses your info..http://www.google.com/privacy/faq.htmlI've heard about Google doing that before and understand why. I guess I just don't get why a company would be interested in what I'm texting people. Aside from marketing reasons. I guess it could be fairly useful in that regard. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Penguin4x4 1,761 Posted November 30, 2011 Did he just power slide a 777?Actually I believe they are able to rotate the landing gear a few degrees, because the aircraft is so large the wind knocks it off course during landing if there is a sidewind.Technical term for it is crabbing.

I'm a little confused why that company would care what we google etc.Marketing dataThat's what I was thinking. I've heard that male college students in their 20s are one of the toughest groups to market to as well and large number of people in that demographic own smartphones so I can see the marketing value. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Luke.H 33 Posted November 30, 2011 Passed a State Trooper doing 75 today; so I'm feeling rather good I'm assuming the speed limit's 65. Would cops normally stop you at that speed? I pass them frequently at 75 and haven't been stopped. That's the average speed for most people on our interstates. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
