Recently a British iPhone user found these pictures pre-loaded in his newly acquired iPhone. Apparently some factory workers were having fun with the iPhones, but forgot to delete the photos. Maybe it is part of a QC procedure? Another marketing campaign secretly launched by Apple? Who knows.

The rest of the news can be found here.

Found this clip on Youtube. Hidden message behind video: Do you think Google is watching you? For some background information with regards to privacy on the Internet, there's a good article here.

Personally i feel that internet privacy is a shared responsibility between the user and the various service providers. Though there are still a lot of gray areas in the ethics of internet privacy, i believe that there are things that we can do in order to protect ourselves on the internet. At least for me, i never disclose my personal mobile phone number nor my home address on internet profiles like Facebook etc, unless it is absolutely necessary. What service providers can do on their end would be communicating their privacy policies to their customers and consumers like us before they entice people to sign up with their servicea, and also to be able to uphold their privacy protection promises when the time calls for it.

This does raises more questions however: What if a certain individual is suspected to be a terrorist, and information about his internet usage is needed? Can we pry open his/her private information to get what we need in the name of social security? Is it right to do so?
