GeoTagging and privacy

I rarely take photo form my iPad and then post on Internet.  Recently I started to have that need, and the moment I did it, my instinct told me that I need to do something to get rid of geotagging on the photos, since by default all photos taken by iOS devices are geotagged. 

Fear not, there's way to get rid of these GeoTag information. I downloaded a free software called QuickFix (for Windows OS), and within seconds after drag and drop, I removed all the geotagging from my photos. 

Of course you might also want to stop geotagging all together.  To do that, you go to the "Setting" of your iOS (iOS5) devices, under [General][Restrictions][Location] and you turn OFF Location feature for any apps you don't want geotagging happening (like "Camera").  That's all.
