New Apple terms allow them to collect and share your "precise, real-time location"

[windowlicker]

Well this is old news from last month, but... Apple has found a new way to get people to agree to online tracking: withhold applications from them if they don't.

According to Apple's new privacy policy, users can opt out if they don't want to be served targeted ads. But if they don't want to share their location information with the company, they also won't have access to new apps from the iTunes store.

Most apple fans won't care they'll have some reason to say why it's good.

Now I have another reason not to have an iphone.

+1 Spot on, I'm sure the iphone fans will find something good about it. Who knows how? but they will. Just like they found no mircosd support as a good thing. Calling it a a dated memory card format and internal storage included is enough for everyone (They decide for you)

Old news. I didn't like it at all when I first read it, but of course it turned out to be just overblown by press thing.

First - it just works if you have iOS4
Second - you can opt out by going to https://oo.apple.com/

Apple is Apple guys, people who have iPhone will love it no matter what, let them be
