Notch: Look what we have built team! Look at this beautiful creation we have made! Hours of sweat and labor finally complet*SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSBOOOM*

Notch: DAMMIT!

find their error, not find their data. Blah.

The researchers made no such claim! In fact they explicitly said they disbelieved they saw faster than light particles, and that they thought their data was faulty somewhere. But what they DID do is ask for other scientists to check their data and find their data, and if possible recreate the experiment to help track down where the error was.

THIS IS CORRECT SCIENTIFIC PROCEDURE!

Why would WWI soldiers be worried about the 3rd light? They would all be hanging out in their trenches down below the sight line of the enemy, NOT lighting matches and having a smoke in the middle of no mans land.

Sorry, but the problem is that apple is not tracking anybody, its that apple is not tracking anybody....yet.

Also, there is the issue of why the phone is doing this in the first place. Why spend the time programming this 'feature' into a phone unless its going to be used for something.

Just because apple isnt doing anything evil with this data does not mean they could not later, or someone else could make a trojan to gather this data now that its widely known.

Apple is getting stomped for this, and rightly so.

Appologies to Neil Stephenson :)
