I listen to Jazz FM[^] when I'm on the road. It has a very calming influence on this old fart.

Good old tune.
While working at the state park here in FL. they had a caterer come in for a special event...name of the company? Doobie's catering.

If they were alive today and writing that song, would it be The Captain and Myself or Myself and the Captain?

So then iFauxn will allow the user to track how they use it, for how long, and all sorts of other data. I suppose it might already be something the do for to you, but if not, those who use the new features are giving them a new depth of view into how and when they spend your time.
Also, put limits on usage (presumably on children, marking them as such).
Do you think it will have any marketing value?

Don't you love the deviousness of it. Market the feature as "monitor yourself" but underneath the hood, the real point is for them to monitor YOU. Big Brother is starting to look pretty tame in comparison to the BS going on nowadays.

Getting on past the devious nature, I'm already hearing the clamorous disbelief of the masses that their private information has been stored, bought, and sold.

Yup. Deviousness works best when applied to unlimited ignorance and gullibility.

Exactly...it just goes to show that they have it in place and can use to monitor you.
This has to be switched off.
I hope this is not a Carrier IQ[^] repeat.

Most of it, no I wouldn't care. But you're comparing apples to oranges. It doesn't work.
So, are you able to answer the question?

You've answered your own question for yourself. Give it a good think. You'll see it eventually.
As for a direct answer to your question: it would be pretty damn stupid to post the stuff I would not want known, wouldn't it? I mean you did you the phrase "wouldn't want other people to know about, didn't you?

Not at all. I can get my email on my phone but of course I don't want that shared. But that is not anything that IS being shared.
So, it's a real simple question, what specific piece of data that is being shared bothers you and why? Seems like that should be real simple to answer if there were anything.

You've responded 3 times and instead of just answering the question you keep shouting, "it's so obvious. Why can't you just be like me." That tells me you are just arguing from a purely emotional standpoint and not a logical one which means there is no point continuing.
Have a good day.
