Some snippets on the latest games surrounding Apple: Location-Tracking Services: Why You Should Think Twice Analysis: Apple, Google, Facebook and others all want to track your travels, but location privacy is an important consideration. The three most important keys to retail success are also the most important ones to your privacy in the 21st century. Which is why you should be keeping a watchful eye on all those big corporations that are keeping a watchful eye on you -- like Google, Twitter, Facebook, AT&T, Verizon, and Apple, to name a few. All of these companies have recently added (or are on the verge of adding) location-centric services. Twitter can now not only tell what city I'm in, but what neighborhood (and I don't live in a very big place). Apple just made headlines thanks to its new iPhone privacy policy, which as the Los Angeles Times notes, lets it collect "...the "precise," "real-time geographic location" of its users' iPhones, iPads and computers. In an updated version of its privacy policy, the company added a paragraph noting that once users agree, Apple and unspecified "partners and licensees" may collect and store user location data. ... Congress Questions Apple Over Privacy Concerns ... The specific focus seems to be on an updated clause in Apple's privacy policy which states that Apple's devices will collect location data from users and share said data with third parties... That could get to be scarily intrusive and certainly not all for your own good!

Did anyone watch last nights episode of Futurama. Mom Corp introduced the new eyePhone. which eventually turned its users into Zombies. Zombies that would buy the new eyePhone 2.0 That was some of the funniest stuff I'd seem in a long time. one really funny part was the users having bad reception on their new eyePhones In a rich man's house there is no place to spit but his face.
