locationd - Unable to turnoff in Security System Preferences
I've got this locationd daemon connecting to apple to two different addresses : mac-services.apple.com and iphone-wu.apple.com (the second of which is odd since I don't have an iphone. Firewall reports these connections.
Doing searches on the net comes up with an apple forum thread which is now archived : http://discussions.info.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2258059
In that thread, some guy jumps to apple defense pointing out that this was covered (more like buried) in the license agreement for Snow Leopard : http://images.apple.com/legal/sla/docs/macosx106.pdf
That document says under 4. Consent to Use of Data "... by disabling the Location Services setting in the Apple Software. The Location Services setting is found in
Security preferences within System Preferences."
However, the Security Preferences has absolutely nothing, zilch, for disabling this.
