If You're Connected, Apple Collects Your Data

Posted by timothy on from the so-they-can-notify-next-of-kin dept.

fyngyrz (762201) writes It would seem that no matter how you configure Yosemite, Apple is listening. Keeping in mind that this is only what's been discovered so far, and given what's known to be going on, it's not unthinkable that more is as well. Should users just sit back and accept this as the new normal? It will be interesting to see if these discoveries result in an outcry, or not. Is it worse than the data collection recently reported in a test version of Windows?

    Desktop linux will collect data too, otherwise they will be at a huge disadvantage.

    Instrumenting how users interact with your OS informs the process of upgrading UI / UX designs.
