Are your text messages private?
Just like email, communicating via text message can feel like a one-on-one exchange—but that privacy is an illusion. Yahoo Tech's Gina Hughes runs down a few ways you can protect your privacy with SMS, like passwording your phone, using anonymous SMS services like AnonTxt.com, and completely destroying your cell phone's data before your sell your phone. All of these suggestions don't actually make SMS secure, because the transmission itself is not, and the copy of your message, in the end, is stored on someone else's phone and there's no way to control what happens from there.

"Exciting" new toy for adults
She seems happy to get that call. Perhaps she just bought the new bluetooth-enabled vibrator?
Yes, I said a bluetooth-enabled vibrator. The makers describe this, er, toy "as a high-tech vibrating device". Just get your partner to send you a text and, er, well, if you don't know what happens next then you probably shouldn't be reading this.
"It took two years to develop this kind of technology, and it's compatible with many phone models including Nokia, Motorola, Panasonic, and Sony Ericsson." Sorry LG users. ('',)
