Apple has just announced the new iPhone 5C and 5S, which will be released in Australia before any other country.
Australians are regarded as the world's best "early adopters" when it comes to technology. Aren't we lucky? Not in this case.
The new iPhone 5C and 5S is described as "the most advanced iPhone ever with our most forward thinking technologies" and "The rumours of a fingerprint scanner built into the home button of the iPhone 5S have proved correct. The Touch ID technology can be used to unlock your phone or to confirm your identity when making purchases at iTunes and the app store. Apple said each person's identification details would be stored on the phone and not on an Apple server".
I reckon all of the 'forward thinking' has been done by the NSA and other alphabet agencies. Now millions of sheeple will willingly hand over their fingerprints to Big Brother without needing to be arrested and detained first. Just like most social media is 'write your own NSA file and don't forget the photographs', here is another step in the sleepwalk into tyranny.
No doubt brainless mobile phone addicts will shout "but its so green and pretty and it can't be bad" and Apple will declare "your fingerprints are safe with us". Yeah Right. Now your pretty little iPhone can record and transmit conversations (even when its turned off), track your movements with GPS in real time, AND fingerprint you!
I hate mobile phones and I don't have an iPhone. I certainly would never get the 5C or the 5S.
That is exactly what I said with social media being where the people write their own NSA files.

You do not need a fingerprint reader to steal someone's freedom. Just give them Facebook and let them tell you who and where they are, and who their associations are. Self monitoring is much cheaper.
