Would my nuclear fallout shelter put me off the map?

Personally, I think that there should be something in place to prevent data mining and other stuff that doesn't help you keep a steady cell signal, work with an app., find your way home, etc. Also, why has Apple refused to comment? :?

Big corps don't care about users, they care about revenues.

@Askidwai (Sorry if I wrote it wrong) Anonymous is an internet term. Most people posting on 4chan are using the Anonymous option, and most memes came from them.

wasn't it ruled legal to hack your smartphones? and if they brick it remotely, they'll be the ones breaking the law

If you have an Iphone or an Ipad you are affected. There's a file on the device that hold your location data, and it goes back a long time too.
It basically reveals where you've been for the past year (if you've had the device for that long).

That's what you get for trusting Apple, or any big corporation with no respect for its users. I'm hardly surprised.

Let me ask you: Are you looking forward to the GPS feature on Sony's next handheld now, hmm?
