The beaches in Pensacola, Fl. are no longer the most beautiful, nor will they ever likely be again. I used to live down there .. spent many a night on that beach .. very very sad.

When we were on nights, we’d get off Thursday morning, get a keg or two, and then goto the beach. We’d rent 1 room for like 10 of us, and then sleep on the beach with a cooler or two and the kegs buried near us.

The beaches were so clean and pure.. when you’d zip your foot on the sand it’d make a ‘ZING’ sound. The water was blue and clear .. you could see the fish around you. All that changes now.

The *Really* Sad part is .. this is *still* coming out. So this is not the end .. but merely the beginning.

So this is starting to come out in the press .. finally Apple is being evil. The funny part is android has been doing this exact thing for some time. While my tin-foil hat is fairly thin .. this is the kinda thing that really does bother me about unrestricted use of technology. Someone should create a “Privacy” rating along with a “Moral” rating ( PG, R etc.. ) that can be applied to things so that we as consumers have more awareness of what decisions we’re making. My N900 .. this is an active choice. Tho to be honest .. I dont’ know if AT&T can poll my N900 for the information. I know they can use their towers to DF to w/in 200 feet or so if they want.

Talked to a group for Security+ students about ‘trends’ in IT security at ECPI last night. Was a fun class and they enjoyed it (i think). I promised to post the slides.. so here they are Thanks to the students that came!
