Do you have an example of where someone needs to tune sensor events so that their application can perform better? I am not the best person to answer that. In Android, native apps like games ask for more frequent updates e.g. for the accelerometer, whilst some apps only need occasional updates. A proximity sensor merits response times of the order of half a second judging from the frustration I get when I can't cancel a phone call until the screen lights up after removing the phone from my ear. > > >> This plays into the larger discussion of the future of >> online privacy and what will follow on after Do Not Track. > > > Okay. Sounds out of scope. What will follow on after DNT? I am not sure I read anything about that yet. It isn't clear right now. The FCC is putting pressure on to force a better meaning of DNT, and there are on going discussions, including W3C's very on privacy interest group. -- Dave Raggett <dsr@w3.org> http://www.w3.org/People/Raggett
