FYI, G+ app on Android just steals any images you make using camera. I
just made photo using camera and minute later it appeared on
https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-5ep3-OdJSCY/TqTL05oMWzI/AAAAAAAAAs4/luE-w5IE3ZE/s800/DSC_0107.JPG without my 
permission. Google claims that this image is visible only to me. Clearly this is not true.

It also scans your contact lists without permission. I have tried various app-protect tools and
g+ circumvents the rights access mechanisms used by a "normal" app. This means anyone r-enging
g+ will be able to access contacts etc circumventing normal rights management.

G+ - a demo of how to hack android the "google way" :-)
