Interesting read on iPhone and iPad "tracking"

Just got home from finishing a job, and while starting the next one, was just having a flick through the "rumour sites". Quite an interesting read about a file stored on the iPhone/iPad. Worth a read,...will be interesting to see the "feedback" on it.

Exactly Reg, Fact rather than Fiction ;-) This guy sums it up rather well yesterday. Scroll down to 'nightcap965' reply /Begin Quote: Help! Help! The paranoids are after me! With respect to all the "view with alarm" postings that will follow,

Re: Interesting read on iPhone and iPad "tracking"

There is a key difference from what that guy has posted compared to Apple - none of those activities involve any form of data collection for advertising. Now that Apple are in the advertising game (with iAds), that data may be used for targeted advertising. I think its a subtle method similar to

Re: Interesting read on iPhone and iPad "tracking"

Hi Rod, I totally agree about Apple ‘could’ use this data for advertising purposes. But, we have always known in iOS that this data was available to Apple Unlike Google’s sneaky way. I guess you will be supporting my ‘Beloved Pies’ on Monday in the Anzac Match ;-) he hee Go Pies! Cheers, Ronni

Re: Interesting read on iPhone and iPad "tracking"

Hi Ronni :) Truebut.its only recently that Apple has a good use for it. Now that its been found, I'm sure some clever cookie will come out with an app that will clean out that database periodically :) And not so sure about following those PiesGO FREO!! :D Seeya Rod On 21/04/2011 4

H. How many remember the absolute outcry when the government was going to bring in the “Australia” card many years ago. “Invasion of Privacy” etc etc. Even Google when they were doing Street View cause quite an outcry (some of it urban myths). How ironic now that we are so apathetic about how

Re: Interesting read on iPhone and iPad "tracking"

Yes, its actually quite interesting the amount of info you can "garnish" on someone. All the things we think are "hidden" can sometimes just be found by some interesting searched. A surprised a friend of mine with the amount of info I could show them simply from having their email address and thei

Re: Interesting read on iPhone and iPad "tracking"

Hi, The best evidence is that there is no collection of data at all by anyone. That's right, this data is not being collected and it may not be legal in some US states to do so. Despite the claims of the two, so called, data scientists, (who are really just developers seeking publicity and who

Re: Interesting read on iPhone and iPad "tracking"

Yeh agreed. I think for the amount of info you can (or cant) get off the file is minimal in comparison to all the other info can find from "other sources" or a simple google-fest. All I got on my files was about 5million dots splattered from one end of Perth to the other, Even zoomed in. So i

Re: Interesting read on iPhone and iPad "tracking"

Good afternoon all, I too have been astonished at the alarmist coverage this furphy has received, even ABC News 24 today and the BBC overnight had a go at it. I was initially flattered at the thought that anyone would be even mildly interested in where I had been, however, when I looked at the

Re: Interesting read on iPhone and iPad "tracking"

So why is this information being logged? Obviously its a triangulation of phone tower signals. Maybe Apple has used this data in the past to improve its radio signal in the iphone and ipad? And Stuart of T4 - I will definitely buy in your stores next time I'm south off Mandurah! Go Freo!! :D Se

Hi Adrian Just playing with my little one,..but basically With the use of google, Facebook (especially), whitepages, a bit of time and little "thinking outside the square" I was able to piece it together. As an example I've sent you something offlist. Not going to get started on it, otherwise I'
