Today at Where 2.0 Pete Warden and I will announce the discovery that your iPhone, and your 3G iPad, is regularly recording the position of your device into a hidden file. Ever since iOS 4 arrived, your device has been storing a long list of locations and time stamps. We're not sure why Apple is gathering this data, but it's clearly intentional, as the database is being restored across backups, and even device migrations.
An alternative to reCAPTCHA...still not perfect. It could trip up someone with cognitive disabilities..or pretty much anyone having an off day. But perhaps it's better than asking a blind user to remember an 8 digit sequence with JAWS talking over the recording and having to repeatedly enter/exit forms mode? It could be edited to include an easier sequence which would make it even more accessible for everyone except spambots.
Now that's a mashup. View business reviews, news, crimes, property transfers, restaurant inspections and more all in one place. We need one for Austin.
