Do I Mind that Android Knows Where I Am?

Our smart phones know where we are.  Is that okay?  I'm trying to decide.  I must admit that I like the location apps and services that are available, but it's almost shocking when I look at my location history and realize this phone keeps track of me AT ALL TIMES.

This article tells the entire story for Android and iOS.

Erasing an iPad and Dealing with an Unknown Restrictions Passcode

When attempting to erase and reset an iPad (3rd Generation), I was asked for a 4-digit restrictions passcode.  I don't recall ever seeing this term, but Apple wanted it before it would let me erase the device.  I suppose it makes it difficult for thieves to wipe and distribute stolen iPads.  Here is the solution:

1. Sign into icloud.com
2. Click on the "find my iPad" tab
3. Click "all devices" on top of the page
4. Click on the device for which you lost your passcode
5. These options will display: "play sound" "lost mode" and "erase iPad"
6. Choose "erase iPad" and it will begin to wipe the device
7. Choose Remove iPad to allow it to be activated and used again

This will also work for iPhones.
