I don't see anything there that I need to keep BT on all the time for (on multiple devices, at that), and I don't even use a BT headset or kb (other than trying out a time or two & keeping around in case I want to change my ways). I turn on BT on my phone when I'm using my Pebble or a rare picture-drop with kinfolk, but that's about it. bj

Only *if* I'm using the Pebble, which isn't all the time or even every day. And not on every device I own. I don't understand your insistence on "BT must be kept on no matter what". I haven't complained about anything breaking, I've said that BT isn't something I need turned on on all my devices all the time, yet you insist I must be missing "something". bj

I do plenty with my devices, just not stuff that needs BT -- other than the aforementioned Pebble, which I don't need every day so I don't wear it all the time, or a rare tryout of something. I airdropped some pictures maybe twice last year! w/people I don't even often see so it's usually done by email anyway. bj

No one gives a single fuck about how you use your ipad. *I* care about you telling other people that turning on BT is a security risk, because that is a lie. -- http://2blog.kreme.com 'But look,' said Ponder, 'the graveyards are full of people who rushed in bravely but unwisely.'

So who in this thread are you accusing of being a liar, since I never said anything of the sort? Or perhaps you're hallucinating too. -- bert@iphouse.com St. Paul, MN

The only place I'd have any use for BlueTooth would be in my car, and I use my phone there, not my iPad. -- bert@iphouse.com St. Paul, MN

The Bluetooth features of iOS don't matter to me if I have on external devices which use it.

Apple enable Blue-tooth on both the Iphone and the Ipad the is so that they can communicate and exchange information common to each device. Your comment about this being an Ipad group as if it should exclude Iphones is mistaken. The two IOS devices are so intimately interlinked that having Blue-tooth enabled is crucial for full functionality. Others will be able to tell you in more detail what the pros and cons of enabling it are. Despite the merchants of doom there is little risk of a genuine security issue in a domestic environment. -- Peter Crosland Reply address is valid

All I did was explain why it was used. I made no mention of it being applicable to you. Try being less curmudgeonly when people are trying to be helpful.
