Re: [LUG] Apple's new technology will allow government to control your Iphone remotely.
Your security is improved when you move to cyanogenmod because it is (more) opensource and to quote Eric Raymond, with many eyes all bugs are shallow. Meaning that with more people looking at the code, there is better quality and thus increased security. Moving to Cyanogenmod puts you back in control of your device (unless you are Xperia Arc S then you are screwed at CM 10.). The whole idea behind modding and roms is to bring the fun of Linux to the world of android. Take a look at MIUI (http://en.miui.com/ My iPhone User Interface) by the Chinese.

Personally I flashed my Galaxy SII to Cyanogenmod http://www.cyanogenmod.org/ due to a mixture of curiosity and a recommendation of better security (also Orange Uganda wasn't pushing out any updates beyond Gingerbread). Very nice Android remix, though I still want to research how exactly it improves security.

Re: [LUG] Apple's new technology will allow government to control your Iphone remotely.
Although apple is the shadow to linux's sun. I chalk this up to hogwash. If the govt wants to control mobiles devices, they will attempt to control all of them. They dont care about apple android or winphone. On Fri, Aug 30, 2013 at 12:23 PM, Peter C.
