Path‘s response: We are sorry
We made a mistake. Over the last couple of days users brought to light an issue concerning how we handle your personal information on Path, specifically the transmission and storage of your phone contacts.
…….
In Path 2.0.6, released to the App Store today, you are prompted to opt in or out of sharing your phone’s contacts with our servers in order to find your friends and family on Path. If you accept and later decide you would like to revoke this access, please send an email to service@path.com and we will promptly see to it that your contact information is removed.
Path iOS App version 2.0.6 now warns users before uploading the content of Address Book.
That’s a proper response from Path.

Goodbye Path, for now. February 7, 2012

The reactions: Delete Path from iPhone (iOS device)
Email service@path.com and request to delete your Address Book data from Path servers.
Hi (First Name of Path User),
Thanks for getting in touch with us! I have erased your contacts and their information from our servers.
On behalf of the team, I’d like to apologize for any privacy concerns that you may have had. Our current release of Path for Android requests permission to access your address book. In the next iOS release, we will have this same permission request added.
Until the update is released for iOS, selecting “Add Friends” will display the names of contacts that you have stored on your phone. But now that you’ve opted out of contact uploading, we will never re-store this data on our servers.
Please let me know if there is anything else I can do to help you. I’m more than happy to address any further questions or concerns that you may have.
Best,
(First Name of Path Service Personnel)
That’s simple enough.

All Squared Up. January 25, 2012
Posted by very in : Apple, iOS, iPhone, iPod, News, Tech , add a commentIf you own a small business and you want to accept card card as payment then it couldn’t be any easier these days.
About a week before Christmas 2011, I helped setting up credit card payment system using Square for a small bakery in the Long Beach, California. All they need are: a wireless access point, an iPod touch and Square card reader. In addition to that, they are also accepting card payment at farmers market in Long Beach, Culver City and Pasadena. According to the bakery owner, they are gaining new customers by simply accepting card payment.
The next project is to redesign Sconeage Bakery website.
