This is true whether you use Android, Apple, or a Windows phone. By design? Why are we silent about it? Even legitimately elected governments are spying on their own citizens using prevention of terrorism as a justification. This talk explores what privacy data mobile phones leak and how you can see evidence of it. Be prepared to toss your phone if you wish to prevent loss of privacy Topics covered ============  Everybody Should Know Enough About OS : There will always be efforts to make digital computing sensually appealing. But we won't be able to make the OS that controls the digital computing go away. We will examine what is in Apple iOS and Android.  Every Thing You Should Know About Android : Android phones now (2014) account for 88% of all smart phones in the world. Even if you use some other smart phone, you should learn a great deal about Android, to be knowledgeable about a platform where many practical innovations are likely to happen.  Linux Within Android :. The prerequisite to understanding Android internals is Linux. This talk describes the Linux embedded within Android, and how it differs from desktop Linux.  Mobile Phone Security Exploits : Smart phones are lot less secure than the old flip- feature phones were as smart phones are computer systems, with many more hardware devices than a typical PC  Root Your Android Device : Rooting an Android devices enhances its functionality. There are some 250 x 106 units in use in 2014. It is safe to say that at least 1% of these are rooted. The first goal of this talk is to explain what rooting is and how it is done. Our second goal is to present a judgment rubric whether you should do it or not.  Flash A Custom ROM to Your Android Device : Savvy users are no longer satisfied with the vendor supplied Android ROM. They want greater control of their device. This talk explores the technical internals of what is involved.
