Man, I love this day. I keep finding funnier and funnier shit. This alone will help me laugh at Apple fanboys for weeks on end. I think I'm gonna save it as a meme, and just send it to any fanboy that tries to kiss Steve Job's desiccated ass.

If you are able to acknowledge that they are shit products, and everything Apple advertises about their products is basically a lie, that's fine by me.
@alyx
Anyone who buys a license to an apple product has opted into a technological ecosystem with an openly known entity making decisions for the users, in lieu of free choice.
To willingly forego choice is explicit and express consent to this kind of data harvesting.
This is not betrayal of user confidence because the user in every case has entrusted all thought to the device's owner, here it's one and the same as the manufacturer.
This isn't even news, it's just salt in the festering wound.
@fluffy
That was a bit more savage than I was prepared for.
@alyx
Sorry about that, I have strong feelings about tracking and privacy which comes out as strong words.
We've already seen this kind of “innocent” smartphone tracking used by the party to identify proles who've taken a stand; and subsequently seen those identified through this tracking subjected to legal and economic action, some of them have been killed outright.
This is a case where you can't change something if you tolerate it, and so I'm vehemently outspoken against tracking.
@fluffy
There's nothing to be sorry about. I just didn't expect it. Which, looking back, is kinda sad on my behalf. It's like saying you don't expect people to be harsh on criminals.
