Careful! Criticizing Apple can get you called all kinds of nasty things by some people. Trust me... I know.

Is anyone the least bit surprised by this?

I think it's kinda cool. I want to download the ap that maps your whereabouts. It would be cooler if you could map a group of people like LoT and see periodic congregations at Disneyland or other LoT occasions of social intersection.

I too think it is kind of cool.

What is not cool about it is that they didn't tell people the phone is doing that and they didn't really do anything to protect the data from any random person who might end up in contact with your phone.

That said, looking at the various comments on this it seems the data is woefully incomplete and also woefully inaccurate.

Anybody else picturing Family Circus-style maps during this discussion?

New Apple slogan: I solemnly swear I am up to no good.

Okay I have to admit that an iPad screensaver with a marauders map and a sound-based password to unlock the device would be pretty b*tchin' right now...

€uroMeinke 04-20-2011 03:31 PM

And you know the Department of Homeland Security probably already has that ap

On a related note, don't get pulled over in Michigan.
