Edward Snowden interview: 'Smartphones can be taken over'
I'm surprised HN readers don't already know this.  It still astonishes me how so many so called "tech savvy" users are content with surrendering their privacy and freedoms to Google or Apple so that they can run the latest "apps".This is why I'm backing the Neo900[1].  It might be a bit pricey and low spec'ed by today's market (a consequence of it catering for a niche market meaning it won't be mass produced) but in my opinion that's a small price to pay to actually own your phone (it's actually more akin to a mobile computer than a phone).[1] http://neo900.org/
