Yeah, they got an app that steals that.

Josh Beckett

Once again on my long and arduous morning commute the radio brought me a news story that prompted me to write.  There was an NPR news story, and oddly enough I can't find a reference to it anywhere, about how many mobile phone apps borrow, steal, or leak your privacy info.  My initial thought was 'hey, big software companies that attempt to understand issues of privacy have a tough time with this. It must be a serious problem when it comes to a boutique firm or garage programmer that doesn't care about anything other than getting their app to work and to market.'
