President Donald Trump denied a New York Times report that his cell phone use allowed Russia and China to listen in to many of his phone conversations. “The so-called experts on Trump over at the New York Times wrote a long and boring article on my cell phone usage that is so incorrect I do not have time here to correct it,” Trump wrote on Twitter.The Times sourced their report to “several current and former officials” who criticized Trump’s phone habits, in particular, the use of a personal cell phone. But Trump denied the report. “I only use Government Phones, and have only one seldom used government cell phone,” he wrote. “Story is soooo wrong!” The report said that American intelligence reported that Chinese and Russian spies were intercepting Trump’s private calls, and using the information to better understand the president. … [Read more...] about Donald Trump: New York Times Report on My Cell Phone Use ‘Soooo Wrong!’

Fortnite looks terrible on my Android phone and I love it
As an Android user, I’ve been waiting a long time to play Fortnite on the go. First, there was the Nintendo Switch version, which I was incredibly excited about until I realized I couldn’t access my PS4 account on the tablet. Then, developer Epic announced that the mobile version of the battle royale shooter was expanding from iOS to Android, and it finally launched last week. For the most part, it’s just what I expected, apart from one major change: on my Galaxy S7 Edge, Fortnite looks like a low-poly PlayStation-era game. And I kind of love it. Once you get around the install process, Fortnite works surprisingly well on mobile. My phone isn’t exactly brand-new, yet the battle royale game runs pretty smoothly. I haven’t experienced any major slowdown so far, even when I venture into more populated areas with lots of players running around, or where elaborate structures are being built. Just like on iOS, the controls take some getting used to; a … [Read more...] about Fortnite looks terrible on my Android phone and I love it
Comments for : Governor Jerry Brown places his veto on the cell phone snooping bill, still no warrant necessary

What rights do cops have to searching my phone if I was going 75 miles per hour and decided to just pull me over for it? Unless they have a warrant out for my arrest or granted permission they have no right! posted on 11 Oct 2011, 07:41 5 3. SuperAndroidEvo (Posts: 4888; Member since: 15 Apr 2011) Bingo, that is clearly an invasion of privacy. It's like you getting pulled over for running a red light, then the cop follows you home & searches your home. A mobile phone is not just a phone anymore, they are small computers with GB's of personal data that should need a warrant, so a person of the "law" can access it. This will not last for long, if the U.S. Government actually follows the Constitution & the Bill of Rights, police in fact will need a warrant to look through your phone. I believe this is just a matter of time until it happens. posted on 11 Oct … [Read more...] about Comments for : Governor Jerry Brown places his veto on the cell phone snooping bill, still no warrant necessary
Mississippi prisons crack down on illegal cell phones
In a landmark move, the Mississippi Department of Corrections teamed up with Global Tel Link and Tecore Networks to help eliminate illegal cell phone use at their Parchman, MS penitentiary. Global Tel Link and Tecore Networks have created a system which filters cell traffic in order to neutralize unauthorized devices.Almost 3,600 illegal phones were seized last year in Mississippi prisons. Authorities believe that they are being used for any number of purposes, including drug deals, escape attempts, and witness intimidation.Amit Malhotra of Tecore Networks is quick to point out that while jamming frequencies is illegal, their system functions in a different manner. Their system "does not prevent all communications, just unauthorized ones," says Malhotra. When phones are brought in to the facility, they are added to the a database, and any unauthorized calls are stopped short of being relayed to the tower. The system also logs the information from stopped calls in order to aid in the … [Read more...] about Mississippi prisons crack down on illegal cell phones
Political calls on your cell phone? Not without your permission FCC says
The election season is in full swing in the US and that means live, campaign, prerecorded “robo-calls” and lots of them. Your landline phone is exempt from the “do not call” registry when it comes to political activities. Mobile devices on the other hand, have far greater protections from all types of telemarketing activity, and the rules have teeth. The FCC issued an “enforcement advisory” last week as a reminder to all the local, state and federal campaigns amid a report from CTIA-The Wireless Association of an increase in complaints about unwanted political calls being made to consumers’ wireless phones. The Telephone Consumer Protection Act of 1991 (TCPA) has significant, and broad rules with regards to auto-dialed and prerecorded calls to cell phones. That is pretty much an all-encompassing statement, and that was intentional: So, what does that mean to the entities that rely on mass calling to people around the country? Well for … [Read more...] about Political calls on your cell phone? Not without your permission FCC says
