[QUOTE="Snaketibe, post: 475447, member: 7379"] I'm quite sure you're right, but my camera doesn't ;-) Your warning is very, very valid however. Why on earth anyone would want their pictures geo-tagged by default is quite beyond my capacity (to quote something golden). What possible benefit does it serve? At best it's effects are neutral, and at worst it simply helps criminals! Just because something is possible, doesn't mean it should be done. You can get 'smart' toasters these days that connect to the internet. WHY?! Oh I know, when I'm next going out, I'll leave some bread in the toaster, and then when I'm on my way home again and less than 3 minutes from my front door, I'll use my phone, connect to my toaster through the internet and instruct it to start toasting my bread!... And then hope I don't get delayed, or that the time I spent remotely connecting to my toaster and instructing it doesn't exceed the 3 minutes time it would take me when I'm home to simply push the bread down by hand and toast it normally. Why does this product exist, and who the hell buys it?! Some things are pointless, people, and geo-tagging is certainly one of them. [/QUOTE]
