Apple: "The iPhone is not logging your location"

[AMDZen]

Wtf? "It's not tracking you. We are setting it to only save your location data for a week." How is that not tracking?

Ummm, maybe its there for App purposes, where someone can use an app like Yelp that says "You're usually in this area around this time and it looks like you've already been here so maybe try this place for lunch today"

Just saying.

Apple is wrong in this case, Google is also downplaying all the time all the information they collect. I am usually against all of these companies collecting so much data on us, but the reality is that its happening - and Google is by far the worst with it.

What I don't understand is when people say, "this is why I have a Droid" Those people are just morons.

That post wasn't an iOS vs. Android post. It was a general and broad post. Anti Apple fanboys are just as bad as the Apple ones, fanboys are fanboys. But being as a person who has always opposed the elitest attitude, as well as a form>function design set, and Apples persistent denial that they have any problems ever whatsoever and put the blame on the user not using it how they intended has me so far off the Apple ship. If Apple changed their "attitude" and released some things I want that doesn't have an extra decimal place on the end in terms of price, I think they make great products and I'd be open to buying from them.

Companies protect themselves. Apple washed off antennagate. Google denies being a spyware outfit. At one point Bill Gates claimed, "There are no significant bugs in our released software that any significant number of users want fixed."

A company that admits they have problems is a company who does not protect their shareholders. That's just how it is.

Anyone know what Microsofts WP7 strategy is for handling these scenarios when compared to Google/Apple?

And read mine, douche bag. You're being a Google apologist as well because Google sidesteps the same exact way.
