ALAS ANDROID USERS! FBI CAN HEAR YOU EVEN WHEN YOU ARE NOT ON CALL


I'm a lover of gadgets and have switched to Android lately. If my memory serves me right, I should be on my third Android device right now and I can only describe the experience in one word; awesome.
I moved in completely when BlackBerry confirmed BBM app for android is coming soon. 
To follow Android lovers like me here's our August shocker; Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) was said to have the "ability" to tap into the mic of any android phone and listen to its user conversation. "An unnamed former U.S. official spilled the beans to the paper, adding the FBI typically reserves these types of tactics for organized crime, child pornography rings and counterterrorism.
According to Techradar, "Not only is the FBI capable of listening in whenever it wants, there's even supposedly a specialized branch, known as the Remote Operations Unit, which not only develops these techniques in-house, but also seeks private companies to create new devices.
The unit uses things like USB drives to install its spying software onto unsuspecting devices, or can get onto a computer from a trojan delivered via a link in an email.
Heart broken, O boy I need Nokia 3310 because If FBI can, hackers can.
