Submission + - Debunking Apple's iPhone tracking response (zdnet.co.uk)
superglaze writes: So, according to Steve Jobs, logging iPhone location data is not logging iPhone location. That's the only logical conclusion that can be drawn from Apple's obfuscatory (and belated) response to the iPhone tracking scandal. Rupert Goodwins at ZDNet UK has done a great analysis of the statement, and how it chimes with earlier words from Jobs regarding Antennagate and how awful Google and iPad-rivalling tablets are. As Goodwins says, "having decided on its reality, the company enforces it... Hence Trackergate, where institutional secrecy poisoned a good idea, but the complainants (and those darn journalists) just cannot understand that it's just Apple trying to do good deeds by stealth".
