Good article on how it's affecting people's lives, as some places are indeed private homes:

They've also planted a gay-friendly pink pig named "love is love" at the Westboro Baptist Church LOL

The following is a quote from an article in today's Houston Chronicle re Pokemon Go. "...... Adam Reeve, a security expert with RedOwl, discovered that iOS users who choose to log in to the game via their Google accounts give Pokemon Go full access to all their Google data. Read all your email, Send email as you, Access all your Google Drive documents (including deleting them), Look at your search history and your Maps Navigation history, access any private photos you may store in Google Photos, and a whole lot more.

In other words, if you've got any data generated by Google product or service, the Pokemon Go can see it, change it, even send is elsewhere.

A hackers dream. It's only a matter of time until the hackers strike.

Driving by the beach I literally see hundreds of kids staring at phones.

What if it all a big hack? Get 3/4s of the population to downnload it then BNAG! Trip the snare...

I would think that an ice cream shop or frozen yogurt, or coffee house would pay to have the little animals put there to draw in customers...

Even better, i'd pay to have a few of them little bastards at your shop just to get a couple hundred nerds running through your office. :)

Since this is a moving target it changes quickly. Nintendo announced they will stop collecting a lot of the info. Saw this on the national news this evening.

Can you imagine the data mining going on with this. Like mentioned before, you are giving Google 100% access. They dont need the Google maps car driving taking pics any more because people are doing it on their phones now for them! LOL...Genius!

This shit is hilarious and people walking around like zombies is NOT healthy. Wise Up, there's always a "catch" to free programs. Trust me, someone is collecting your kids pics and video. What kind of data stream is thing pushing/pulling?

Good thing my kids are on summer break. They had no idea this was going on right now. The other "gotcha" with this app is the massive amount of data that is used to chase these things around if your not on WIFI. My wife, 10 YO and 13 YO sons don't have unlimited data. My youngest has run up some big bills on his phone in the past. He is banned from you tube because of this.

Pissedddddddd parents when the data bill comes. 12 hours a day for a month with these kids.

Fyi......supposedly the app uses very little data.....I know, surprise huh? And yes, I've noticed it, cuz it seems like the little data whores I got over here have been actually using less since they've been playing. Good thing, cuz Daddy would be cutting them punks off. :D

There is a "lure" feature in the app where businesses can pay for whatever it is you look for to be more common at their GPS coordinates....

This guy is live streaming his games and has 150,000 subscriptions. There's an entire back story to this guy and how he got all his subscriptions but I will let you watch for yourself.

I just read elsewhere it is pretty low for data use. It is amazing they pulled that off.
Hopefully its getting some kids outside and moving. Maybe theres a positive effect from this. Whatever works to get some exercise. Its the rebirth of Nintendo

The latesT on the app having access to your Google info has apparently been addressed. There is supposed to be an update fixing this. But you need to go into your Google acct and deny access to Pokemon Go........then you can go and log back in to the app with the update and it should be ok.

Nine more teenagers at the park this morning hunting (6:30 AM)... I'm not sure if this is a good thing or not. I walk the dog every day... same time... see the same people.

There are Pokemon in my neighborhood and it's pissing me off because cars are coming down our street at all hours of the day and night looking for these stupid things.

I have a feeling that this is going to turn out badly for someone.

I deleted it off me phone today it's really time consuming and it got repetitive quick.
Give it a month and everyone will get over it and go back to Candy Crush.
