WARNING for people using iPhone to post pics!
 

Take a look: http://blog.playpen.com/2010/09/warn...-to-post-pics/

I think this may be true for most modern cameras, not just iphones, as most new cameras have built-in GPS functions to tag the location of your photos.

Nice find though..!

Hey DJ,

I saw this and freaked out I personally love self shot iphone style content. I hope more people read this before something ugly happens.

sounds like bs, do they actually put it in the meta data of the jpegs?

it looks like that way. I have to check myself.

:2 cents:

creeps are to stupid hopefully lol

Yes, they do. A lot of modern cameras do this.

good for some apps, tho
 

While there is the porn chick privacy issue, the technology IS useful.

For example, my wife and I are looking at different resorts in Hawaii that we haven't stayed at yet, and for context within its environment, I've been checking various properties from space, using Google Earth to better see the hotel and surrounding property, beach access, etc.

In certain modes, Google Earth has pinpoints overlayed on the map / satellite image that you are viewing. Click on one and a photo along with its image meta data appears, such as "Pool bar at sunset" or "Sea turtles in lagoon" -- with the pinpoint showing exactly where the photo was taken.

This organic view of the properties, from the perspective of other tourists, is far more valuable than any brochure.

:thumbsup

crazy shit

My Paypal is...

already knew about this, but always good to warn!

Great tip, thank you! I'll spread it around to the girls I know.

:thumbsup

I don't know much about iPhones but shouldn't there be a way in the settings to remove personal and GPS info from pics before sending?

Sally.

It's a good thing you took 45 seconds to read the article that was linked too

:1orglaugh

Hey, how have you been?

Doing good, keeping busy with work. Yourself?

Same, can't complain, and busy as hell!

Thankfully I don't have an iPhone, nor do I plan to get one...

they're really taking out all the fun in stalking these days..

it's called EXIF, people, and it's been around for quite a while :2 cents:

No complaints at all, Happy and thankful to be as busy as I am

:1orglaugh

Very true, and the stalkers and pedos all know this and more.


Don't forget Rebecca Schaeffer. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rebecca_Schaeffer

Any picture you take can always be tracked back to your specific device.... the jpg/pics have data as unique as a finger printer...even more so.

crazy stuff .

It is useful if you can't remember where you took a picture.
:1orglaugh

um... If location services is already set to ON and you go to take a picture in any app it comes up on the screen "appname" would like to use your current location...photos will be tagged with the location where they were taken and you click ok or deny so i dont really see the problem?

Hit me up Elli...
