Apple: "We must Have Comprehensive Location Data"
An anonymous reader writes "Apple's iPhone 3G, iPhone 3GS, the iPhone 4, and iPad models are keeping track of consumers whereabouts. Mac computers running Snow Leopard and even Windows computers running Safari 5 are being watched. But the question is why? 'To provide the high quality products and services that its customers demand, Apple must have access to the comprehensive location-based information,' Apple says."
Bullshit!
No it's not. That information is needed for the "Find-A-Homo" app. Th Republican's are really big on that app - don't know why. And the "Find-A- Public-Restroom" app.
I don't have time to find the sites. Today is worship the Chocolate Rabbit and Egg day.
Praise be the Easter Bunny - who the Jews killed and ate.
Well it also makes paranoid types bug out over unlikely scenarios, which entertains me, which I guess is yet another use.
Not one they intended, I'm sure.
Next computer and phone will not be a mac then. /previous Apple customer.
I'm sorry, but your response pretty much proves that you are full of shit. A *TRUE* Apple customer would not respond the way you did, so I call "bullshit" on your post. I do not believe you own *any* Apple products.
If you want news from today, you have to come back tomorrow.
Congratulations! You are the first person who has actually read the EULA!
Seriously, how many people do you think actually read the EULA, and saw that clause, and understood it, before using their new device?
"But look, you found the notice didn't you?"
"Yes," said Arthur, "yes I did. It was on display in the bottom of a locked filing cabinet stuck in a disused lavatory with a sign on the door saying 'Beware of the EULA'."
