Do you give a damn about your right to privacy? I do which is why I avoid all Google products.

Do you think Apple has the right to flout the Communications Act? Ok drama queen be specific. What exact laws did Apple violate, and exactly how? Do you give a damn about your right to privacy? This stuff is about what cell tower my freaking phone spoke to. Who cares? Hell my credit card companies know a lot more about what I'm doing than Apple, and they send the info by totally insecure snail mail. I bought some stuff on the Internet this morning. Five minutes later I was at a site with ads that the 3 products I bought were displayed on an ad covering the right portion of the screen. Bizarre. And I'm sure Googles fingerprint is on that somewhere. Listen, you're playing drama queen cause it's Apple. You're Syl shrill. You might as well be a birther for all the sense you're making. But carry on....

Do-Not-Track Tool Added To Latest Safari Browser By Leander Kahney (8:46 pm, Apr. 13, 2011) The latest beta version of Safari now features a do-not-track privacy setting to prevent online advertisers from tracking users as they surf the Web. The tool has been added to the latest version of Safari in Lion, the upcoming update to OS X expected to go public this summer. Safari is the third major browser to add a do-not-track setting. It joins Microsoft’s Internet Explorer and Mozilla’s Firefox include it, but Google’s Chrome does not — yet. Google, of course, is one of the web’s biggest online advertisers. It’s also worth noting that Apple offers an in-app advertising program called iAds that competes with other forms of advertising, online and off. cultofmac.com
