Warning: System pics and iphones
Posted by: Shayman on 06 October 2010
In case any iphone (or other GPS enabled smartphone) users aren't aware, when you take a picture with your phone the exact co-ordinates (to within a couple of metres!) of where the picture were taken are recorded and embedded in the jpeg data. This is accessible to anyone downloading the photo from the web and the position can easily be shown on a streetmap.
For obvious reasons it may be a good idea to avoid submitting pictures of your system to threads on this and other forums if they've been taken on such a device.

Well, the benefits of this approach shows up as a temporal thing I suppose - a computer could/should be able to remember such information for longer time and with greater precision, than a human mind
