Dodgy phone app !

#1 Post by fatboy » Thu Aug 09, 2012 8:30 pm

Just been looking at some Google news babble re a phone app. that lets you know of parking spaces in your area.
Seems handy,but we are very much in the age of 'shared imformation' so this app also notifies the local parking services of your arrival and expiry time !
No such thing as a free lunch kids :smt013 :smt018
Cleverly disguised as an adult !

How would it know if you bought a ticket for 30 mins or 2 hours?
I hate it when people ask if you have a bathroom, I want to say "No we pee in the garden"

And what's the problem unless you are looking to avoid paying for parking spaces as you should be?
