iKnow where you've been

Quote by BBC NewsApple iPhones and 3G iPads are secretly recording and storing details of all their owners' movements, researchers claim. Location data is kept in a hidden, unencrypted file according to security experts Alasdair Allan and Pete Warden. With the right software, it can be used to map exactly where a person has been.

Quote by Apple's Terms Of Use"We may collect information such as occupation, language, zip code, area code, unique device identifier, location, and the time zone where an Apple product is used so that we can better understand customer behaviour and improve our products, services, and advertising"

Do other smartphones have these kind of interesting features as well?

It's a countermeasure put in by the government, as Apple users are clearly too mentally incapable to be allowed to roam unattended.

Was never planning to spend a dime on worthless overpriced "gadgets" that are made in China and sold to spoiled brats so they can show off exactly how rich their mom and daddy are anyway.
