justinwebb Posted August 22, 2013 Report Share Posted August 22, 2013 The possibility of this has been around for a while, if you think that they cant do that with your current phone you are naive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TTQ B4U Posted August 22, 2013 Report Share Posted August 22, 2013 Apple patented the means to transmit an encoded signal to all wireless devices, commanding them to disable recording functions. The policies would be activated by GPS, and wi-fi or mobile base-stations, which would ring-fence ("geofence") around a building or a "sensitive area" to prevent phone cameras from taking pictures or recording video. So put the phone in airplane mode cutting off all communications to the device and record away? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duff1647545513 Posted August 22, 2013 Report Share Posted August 22, 2013 So put the phone in airplane mode cutting off all communications to the device and record away? Was my first thought as well, but if my dumbass would think of that immediately, I'm sure their smartass people found a way around airplane mode keeping them from ass fucking your phone remotely. I've never wanted an iphone anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geeesammy Posted August 22, 2013 Report Share Posted August 22, 2013 Wrap it in tinfoil? :gabe: This shit is already in place. Classrooms in high schools have "jammers" that block signal. Not the same but a step below... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unfunnyryan Posted August 23, 2013 Report Share Posted August 23, 2013 Good thing they patented it so I dont have to worry about this shit on android INNOVATION Wrap it in tinfoil? :gabe: This shit is already in place. Classrooms in high schools have "jammers" that block signal. Not the same but a step below... we talked about this in one of my classes, it's quite illegal and the FCC does investigate the use of such devices. If you know of a school doing so, have a little fun and report it here http://www.fcc.gov/complaints Here is a PDF on the subject. http://hraunfoss.fcc.gov/edocs_public/attachmatch/DOC-304575A1.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otis Nice Posted August 23, 2013 Report Share Posted August 23, 2013 If my high school had "jammers" I would spend all my time in class figuring out how to get around it. If my high school had jammers my pager wouldn't have worked and I wouldn't have known who to call when I finally got home that evening.

Ramsey Posted August 23, 2013 Report Share Posted August 23, 2013 Going in airplane mode prevents instant upload and reaction. Which is probably what they want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Putty Posted August 23, 2013 Report Share Posted August 23, 2013 The fingerprint scanner is just a way for the government to get the fingerprints of the new Apple sheep to get the 5S. They have to be stored on a cloud somewhere....Feds get in that cloud. Run those prints against criminals, track location....Gotcha! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
