Technically Speaking

Your iPhone is bugged. Well not technically bugged, but it appears that this morning’s news that interest me has an article on this. I guess we don’t need to fear big brother, but BB Steve Jobs is already hard at work. Now if you factor in the cost of the iPhone, it sounds like v1 of this device is pretty much a rip off.

Not only are you paying way more for something that is kind of cool, but now they are tracking you and your phone. According to the article, this is every iPhone worldwide. There is no place to hide from the iPhone police. Interesting that Apple would allow this kind of low intercept your data type of tactic in a product they hinged a lot on this past June.

The real funny thing about all of this is that you the iPhone owner consented to this invasion of your privacy:

When you interact with Apple, we may collect personal information relevant to the situation, such as your name, mailing address, phone number, email address, and contact preferences; your credit card information and information about the Apple products you own, such as their serial numbers and date of purchase; and information relating to a support or service issue.

What is even more interesting is the fact after all the hack attempts, it is now just coming to light that they are tracking you - everywhere. Of course now the most interesting thing is that not only did you pay a bunch for the iPhone, but you also consented to them invading your privacy.

Technically Speaking, makes me want to go out and spend some cash flow on an iPhone today - NOT!
