Were you aware that when you snap a shot with your iPhone of the backyard bbq you're having, that the co-ordinates for your home address are sent up and out to GIS sattelites? iow, inside that picture of your kids favorite playground is the playgrounds longitudinal and latitudinal co-ordinates and down to within meters. This information can be up retrieved by authorities and in fact there are 9 MILLION known uses on the part of the authorities to 'retrieve' these coordinates that come from what you think is just your harmless cell phone pic.

And it's not just the fed or the cia who can determine where you're and where you live, a nefarious person can get the same coordinates to your home using the same methods the GIS does.So, be careful about how much personal stuff you want to be spreading all over the place. Where your little kids like to go; favorite ice cream shop, favorite play ground...that's all information any weasely pervert can pick up as well.

take SAFE pictures kis, THINK before you 'send'...

Really? Wow.
