Icon20 Apple Software Agreement has invaded my privacy !

Well sorta, if you get an App now, you must agree to have your device scanned for location (GPS) and diagnostic/usage data. Thoughts?

I think we're getting "1984" about 30 years late. And it'll be Jobs' face on the big screen...

No, Google Maps can relay location from time to time of varying accuracy. The article I linked addresses this.

Apple can do what they want, you don't have to buy their phones if you don't like it.

At least if Apple invades your privacy it isn't personal, but remain cognizant of the fact there are less than scrupulous people out there with their own agendas who are all too willing to invade your privacy. With all personal data, caution and prudent judgment are the watchwords.

I, too, would like to know where David lives as he has the ability to face aversive circumstances yet remain funny and respectful to those around him at all times. No doubt that is what you were trying to highlight.

I had an iPhone and when I downloaded applications on one computer to my phone they would not work when I synced with another computer. Pretty annoying anti piracy measures by Apple.

Apple does make a great laptop, my MacBook Air I cannot praise highly enough but otherwise they could do with some smartening up in some areas of telephones and the iPad might be worthy some day.
