A week after researchers discovered that Apple's iPhone and iPad devices were tracking and storing customer locations as they moved around geographically, the company finally issued an official response, disavowing some of the claims while admitting to software bugs. But he big question now is: What took Apple so long to explain itself? more
so lets bash apple for a change
Don't understand the fuzz about the whole "tracing" stuff.. It's been known since IOS4 was released. It's even been discussed in a couple of books. Granted.... positioning was recorded IN your iPhone, nothing was transmitted to Apple. Keep in mind that other smartphones do the same.
Also... whevenever you take money out of an ATM, make a cellphonecall... your ever move is being written in some database. Nothing new...
Now.. let's go back to B&O

The iPhone remembers which WiFi networks it has discovered, and where it thought these networks were related in comparison to it's location according to GPRS in order to make the maps application more effective.
I've been using my iPhone 3GS since just after they came out and I haven't yet been hunted down 🤒
the problem is apple were storing the infoand was unencrypted, as against smartphones etc who encrypted it and did not store, so the report said.
the CEO for apple admitted the software bugs

Not even a problem as far as I'm aware - no personal data was stored.
All a load of hype over absolutely nothing (as per usual with the media).
Not only not a problem, but those who follow security issues had known about it for months before it became a feast for mainstream media. And no special free software was needed, either. If you want to look at the structure and content of my data, go to http://iplaq.com/iphone ...
I think no one except Apple knew what the dimentions of the iPad2 were going to be before launch... So B&O bashing for the BS8 not being 100% iPad2 compatible is a bit harsh... let's just hope that some kind of adapter will surface.
Quite right!! Very, very harsh.
To think Bang & Olufsen were to know how iPad 2 was going to look like before launch.
Was it going to be bigger, smaller, thinner, thicker................and the list goes on. Here are some examples of what people thought.
How could anyone have guessed?
