First time I've heard about this.
From the moment we took the photo and it popped up on IcanStalkU.com all it took was fifteen minutes for Jackson to close in on us. At the 20-minute mark we watched him walk right up to us.
Hmm. I can think of a couple of good uses for this.

#4  "every" phot is a bit broad. There are ways to turn it off and most photo processing software can be set to scrub that data.
