iOS 7.1.1 Update Turns Location Service On Without Asking

iPhone users beware!  I updated to iOS 7.1.1 and when I checked my privacy settings, I saw that Location Services was on. I always keep this off, except when I am using Google maps (rarely). Bad enough that the NSA is spying on our location, I don’t need Apple nor Google nor any other corporation doing the same. Just what I need, more ads, more junk email, etc.

Come on Apple, I bought an expensive phone from you. Don’t turn off a privacy setting – I don’t want to share my location with anyone, least of all advertisers and marketers.

April_hailstones-20140426-1

This doormat is in front of the steps to our front porch. It has quite a few hailstones that came down a moment ago.

The birthstone for April is the diamond. The hailstones look a little like diamonds – well, maybe to someone  with poor vision and cataracts.

She who from April dates her years,
Diamonds shall wear, lest bitter tears
For vain repentance flow; this stone,
Emblem of innocence, is known.

As it happens, my birthday is in April. I mention this, and diamonds, on the off chance that someone wants to send a gift.  Only kidding.

Typical April in Prescott, Az: Snow, hail, rain, high winds one day; Sunny and warm the next.

We got went to the Yavapai Humane Society’s Walk for the Animals this morning. Gary volunteered to photograph the event. It was raining a little, then the wind came up and it changed to snow mixed with rain. When some of the vendors tents and literature blew away they decided to cancel the event. I’ll post some of Gary’s photos later on.
