yes, its for real. I use mobile me all the time and i have heard about the tracking by my iphones, we have three. I just want to know if I can use it. I have installed this type of software on our blackberrys, but it uses up the battery very fast. I like to do things the way apple has designed it. we are very happy with the way apple does things

Actually not true roaminggnome.

Quote from a study done -

anything with 3G data access, so no iPod touch—are logging location data to a file called consolidated.db with latitude and longitude coodinates and a timestamp. The data collection appears to be associated with the launch of iOS 4 last June, meaning that many users (us at Ars included) have nearly a year's worth of stalking data collected.

To begin with, you're wrong. This was proven wrong several years ago. If you bothered looking at the date stamps on these posts, you would realize that you're resurrecting a thread that's beed dead for almost 2 1/2 years.


As for your claim to represent ars, You may want to re-think that claim. Citing a 2 1/2 year old article that's already been proven wrong doesn't make any of you look very smart.
