8.It was reported last week that developers could take photos from Apple mobile and Google Android devices without the phone owners knowing that the images were being taken.In Apple's case,developers can also obtain the location information for each photo.Senator(参议员) Charles Schumer said in a telephone interview that his office had spoken with officials at both Apple and Google on Monday.
"We asked them if they could find a way on their own to prevent Apple from having access to private information,"Mr.Schumer said."They were friendly and open to the idea that this ought to be changed."
On Sunday,Mr.Schumer said that he planned to send a letter to the Federal Trade Commission asking the agency to investigate Apple and Google after the privacy concerns came to light.Claudia Bourne Farrell,an F.T.C.spokeswoman,said the agency had received the letter but she could not comment further.

Mr.Schumer said if Apple and Google could not come to an agreement to fix the problem,then he would be forced to take the issue further.
He said other companies had been willing to work with his office to fix issues."I'm optimistic that we can get this changed without any regulation,"he said."If it's not changed,then we'll turn to the F.T.C.,and if that doesn't work then we'll consider legislative approach."
