My Phone Knows Something I Don't...

Yesterday I had a very weird thing happen. Since I don’t have access to the internet on the weekend I rely primarily on my cell phone to look at my emails and Facebook. Facebook isn’t something I have totally figured out on my phone, mostly because although it is a smart phone, it is not all that user friendly.
The phone that I have is the Nokia N95, and although it was advertised as a pretty good smart phone, I have found that it really doesn’t compete. Despite having some interesting things like video calling and a 5megapixel camera, there wasn’t a whole lot else to think about. Well that and the fact that it still functions using a standard keyboard, which meant that I didn’t have to adjust and I can now text without looking at my phone. I am quite proud of that.
So now that we are all familiar with the Nokia N95, I will fill you in on the events of my Sunday night adventure. The Nokia N95 doesn’t really have Apps so I just use a bookmarking function on my phone to see Facebook. When I clicked on the Facebook home tab, it took me to some other person’s Facebook, It took me a few seconds to figure out that that was even what was going on I was so surprised. I had no idea who the person e was, and then I figure it out because when I hit the profile button, I was visiting some girl named Shu’s profile. Still not totally convinced that my phone had somehow inadvertently and without any knowledge on my part as to how, hacked some other profile I changed this poor girls status! I felt that she should know that this happened so I posted through her own profile “this is not my profile, but my phone has somehow hacked into it…sorry!”
This very surprising event really got me thinking though, because I have no clue how my technology works, how can I trust that it will work correctly? Just something interesting that I thought I would share.
