iPhone and Location: Don't Panic

stonemirror writes "There's a lot of blind panic out there over the discovery of a database file on the iPhone which contains dated location information. Without actually looking at the data, a lot of folks have proclaimed that the 'iPhone is tracking your every move.' I actually did take a look at the data, and it's not doing anything like that."

No, it's called "apple is innocent focus on android I'm an apple fanboy", to some degree (and not always). The "oh but android!" argument is seriously getting old.

If it's anything like the "oh but [the Democrats | the Republicans] aren't the only ones, because [the Republicans | the Democrats] did this nasty thing too!" then it's not going away anytime soon.

I mod those posts "Redundant" every chance I get, but it doesn't work when I'm the only one.
