[ale] OT: HTC Advice

[Cameron Kilgore]

Pirates?! I thought we were still calling AT&T the "Death Star"

I don't know how HTC Sense handles the privacy of its user data, I don't use bundled carrier crap because its bundled carrier crap. Read over the terms of use. I do know that Prey, another security suite, uses end-to-end encryption.

I'd be more worried about Google, since, yanno, its their OS.

HTCSense service Terms of Service document in regards to how they handle your personal info and would make available to partners or other third party providers that are in country's that don't honor privacy rights.

If & when (more likely when) I root this thing is there something available that is similar to HTCSense? I'm mostly interested in the remote device security features.
