My tinfoil moment of the day. I don't believe that Apple Facetime glitch was not known by Apple.

Here's an article about the fourteen year old that found the bug.

14-year-old's FaceTime bug discovery could rattle Apple

At the heart of Apple's shocking FaceTime bug, which allowed just about anyone to turn an iPhone into a live microphone, stands a 14-year-old boy who stumbled upon the eavesdropping flaw more than a week before Apple took action.

"The thing that surprised me the most was that this glitch happened in the first place," said Grant Thompson, a high school freshman in Tucson, Arizona. "I'm only 14 and I found it by accident, instead of the people at Apple that get paid to find glitches."

Not only that, but Grant and his mom said they spent a week unsuccessfully trying to get Apple to do something about the bug in its FaceTime group-chatting feature. The bug allowed callers to activate another person's microphone remotely even before the person has accepted or rejected the call.

"It took nine days for us to get a response," he said. "My mom contacted them almost every single day through email, calling, faxing." Of the fax, he jokes, "I'm not even sure what that is. It's probably older than I am."

1. I have know about phones doing this since 2000

I had worked in a SUPER secret security area and we were required to remove the battery (remember when phones had removal batteries?) or leave the phone outside the security area. This nothing new, but more people now know about this GLITCH......
