Blocking googles internet tracking
Authored by: Anonymous on Wednesday, September 26 2012 @ 09:45 PM EDT
An interesting peice of code that is on most websites is a
thing which is used for google analytics, it tracks stats
about who visited that webpage and where they went that can
be later viewed by the website owner on a google site. A
usefull tool to block this and other tracking software on
websites is Ghostery, look it up.

Android autorunning apps
Authored by: SpaceLifeForm on Wednesday, September 26 2012 @ 10:11 PM EDT
In order to remove those apps that are automagically
restarted on Android, you will have to root your phone.

They are not started via a script, but via the zygote
process that is always running.

If your phone is rootable, the easiest path would
be to use a different rom that does not include those
apps.

Sorry, but it is not a trivial exercise.

Yes, paranoia time again. I should have mentioned that I pick up all my
Hotmail, Gmail, etc., from a Debian/Postfix mail/Proxy server rather than
from the web. Not perfect, but if the IP address is resolved it will only pick
up the suburb...

Root the phone and remove all extraneous stuff. If you don't use Gmail, remove
(or, if you're at all uncertain about this, rename or 'freeze') Gmail.apk. There
is quite a bit of fluff on these phones which you can do without, even on custom
installations like Cyanogenmod.
