[QUOTE="Bennett Prescott, post: 26179, member: 4"] Re: Apple Loses My Respect I'm not sure it is... the iPhone transfers data between itself and The Cloud (ooooh!) all the time... encrypted data. One assumes this is simple one's calendar and email updates. My computer talks to Apple every time I open iTunes. I assume this is only various updates as well. The data is there and it is accessible by an unprivileged program. Even if Apple doesn't make it available or store it at the Mothership, it would be child's play for someone else to. I agree, however, only a stupid criminal would bring their cell phone to the location of a crime they were committing. Fortunately the vast majority [i]are[/i] stupid. However, I am not a criminal (and I can prove it!), and I don't want my phone keeping a record of everywhere I've been either. I can think of nothing good to be done with that data. [/QUOTE]
