    Apple Wants to Patent Technology to Record your Voice and Heartbeat on your iPhone...

    http://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2010/08...eking-patent-0

    Here's a sample of the kinds of information Apple plans to collect:

    * The system can take a picture of the user's face, "without a flash, any noise, or any indication that a picture is being taken to prevent the current user from knowing he is being photographed";
    * The system can record the user's voice, whether or not a phone call is even being made;
    * The system can determine the user's unique individual heartbeat "signature";
    * To determine if the device has been hacked, the device can watch for "a sudden increase in memory usage of the electronic device";
    * The user's "Internet activity can be monitored or any communication packets that are served to the electronic device can be recorded"; and
    * The device can take a photograph of the surrounding location to determine where it is being used.

That's all we gotta do. This right here makes us stronger. Let's understand who we are as a team. Let's understand this right here makes us stronger." - Ray Lewis, January, 2012.

      Just another reason why I will never buy anything Apple.
      When you don't know that you don't know, it's a lot different than when you do know that you don't know.

        The patent is basically so that no one can create an app that will do this without needing Apple's consent. The scary part is that Apple believes this can be done with their technology already so they have to patent this stuff so that no one will exploit this in Apple's technology.

          Soon it will be like Minority Report where our eyes are scanned everywhere we go.

                Some people learn from past mistakes?
                Before you insult a man, walk a mile in his shoes. That way, when you insult him, you'll be a mile away, and have his shoes.
