Howdy h4x0rs,
In case you guys didn't get the word, apparently our cellphones are
sending all of our keystrokes (including our text messages, phone
numbers dialed, web searches, etc) to some spooky company called
CarrierIQ. A phone hacker recently figured this out and made a video
demonstrating the spying in action. Check it out:

P.S. If you've rooted your phone and replaced the vendor OS with
something like CyanogenMod, then the spying software is removed
from your phone. Otherwise, consider yourself 1984ed. :(
