Fuel price went up again

It is not because of wars in oil-sensitive areas. It is not because of the American elections for the next president. It's because the car makers have the bloody nerve to make fuel efficient cars so that the big oil company don't get the money in that they think they deserve.

Am I paranoid or is the light spying on me?

I was looking for a flash-light application to put on my phone. This one got very good reviews. I did not install it. Why would a flash-light application that just manipulates the flash-LED or the screen want to read my phone status and require full network access?
