I'm amazed the thing makes calls at all. And congress is here to save us: http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2397105,00.asp
Interesting response from Carrier IQ in a long article on The Register: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2011/12/02/carrier_iq_interview/ | Yes, Carrier IQ is a vast digital fishing net that sees geographic | locations and the contents of text messages and search queries | swimming inside the phones the software monitors, the company's VP of | marketing, Andrew Coward, said in an extensive interview. But except | in rare circumstances, that data is dumped out of a phone's internal | memory almost as quickly as it goes in. Only in cases of a phone crash | or a dropped call is information transferred to servers under the | control of the cellular carrier so engineers can troubleshoot | bottlenecks and other glitches on their networks. -- Alan J.
