...Because on June 21st, 2010, Apple will introduce iOS 4, and then it will.

Did you know there's a black box under your seat that can report your car speed, and "testify against you" in court?

How man people carry toll "speed passes" in their cars? That's an RFID that tracks your every move.

Wait, so Apple isn't the one creating your big brother state? I'm confused.

Justice Scalia is.

When it comes to unwarranted searches, yes. Abso-motherfucking-lutely.

This matter speaks to this.

Or, you can play pretend games, like fucking Shmike.

Youre prety much on some sort of security camersa where ever you go now. Whenever a crime or an accident occurs the popo look for surveilance video. In the shitty parts of NYC nypd has their own cameras.

"cell phone companies have always had this data, but it takes a court order to access it."

In other words, this isn't just Apple

If Big Brother wanted it, they could get it no matter what kind of phone you have.

That is all.

If you read up on everything Google does to spy on people, you'll realize it's worse than anything Apple does

And yes, of course, so does your cell phone. Turning it off doesn't even always kill it. You have to take the battery out (obviously, not an option with anything Apple).

Face it, the only thing missing is the numerical arm tattoo anymore. It's gotten way fucking scary. Now they wanna download your phone data during traffic stops?

HELLO? If only the SCOTUS would protect us, and actually respect the Constitution, there would be nothing to fear...but sadly, it's been stacked with so many conservatives, that we've lost nearly all of our personal Liberties...and kids, don't EVER think for a nanosecond that you'll EVER get them back, short of an all-out revolution; as that NEVER happens.

Once rights are lost, they are LOST FOR GOOD, and this country has already started an accelerated slide down a slippery slope.
