Yep.  They were talking about that 2 weeks ago on TV.

Saying that if you have one of the new smart phones not to post pics to internet or fordard them to other people as there is tracking info in the pics to the address where they were taken.

Pretty scary if you have kids or are being stalked by someone.

But what if you have the places and gps thing in your phone turned off?  My camera isn't that fancy but my iphone is.  Often it asks if I want my location to be 'uploaded' or whatever so some ap can know exactly where I am - I always say no and have that side of things turned off - does that make a difference?
