could be, i think it's scandalous that you buought the phone and then get bombarded with unrelated stuff you don't want, and then get charged for it to boot

[srijantje]

yes,it's absolutely outrageous

someone with a bit of cash needs to sue them.
makes you wonder how much they make from doing the same thing
to others as they did to your partner

[srijantje]

millions a day,these are big companies with lots of subscribers[10 of millions]

That's pretty scary (the original article.)

I downloaded to Windows version of the iPhone Finder to find out where it has tracked me .

[billy]

and what did you find out?
with most of the electronics we use now days
be it a phone, pc, interactive tv, even a kindle (suspect) we leave tell tale bread crumbs of our
whereabouts or actions for those who run the app services etc. this in turn allows them to market specific targeted areas.
in my opinion the customer is classed as a cash cow to be milked any and all ways possible.
we are now owned by companies like apple, sony, amazon, sky, vodaphone etc. they tell us what to by or what is good and we like sheep often believe them. just look at credit cards if you want to see theft in action. the ones in the philippines have an apr of 44% that's daylight robbery if you don't pay on time. and from their databases thay can tell whoever they want, waht we prefer to buy, where we shop, what we spend, where we go on holidays and a million other things that mysteriously end up on someones list of who to mail shit to
