Stuart Smalley would be OK with it if only it were the government doing the tracking.

I wish Apple would officially response to Senator Franken by telling him that there are far more pressing problems that Congress should be dealing with than a software feature on a luxury device.

Two years ago, my daughter showed me a cool ap which would indicate the constellation you were pointing the phone toward with incredible accuracy. It was fun to do in the winter night time sky.

How stupid would you have to be to not know that the phone needs to know your exact location and position to perform that function on a realtime basis?

So Franken is suggesting what? Every time someone tries to call your cellphone, it has to randomly search the entire world to find you?

Whatsamatter Al...you been sneaking over to Barney’s house?

Even a stopped clock is right twice a day.

However, I do see the advantage of having such a device in the case of a kidnapping. Even if the perps discarded the device, it would give priceless clues to where they were and might have been headed.

It would be nice if it were a feature you could enable and DISABLE at will.

The fact that this feature cannot be disabled makes it intrusive.

Al:
Crawl back in your hole.
If we want any Shiet from you we will squeeze your head. The top one where you put your hat. . . .

Yea but x raying you and feeling up your kids at airports is just fine,, lets face it the constitution is already shredded

I really, really want to see the video of some future purse-slapping fight between Al Franken and a group of Apple fanboys distraught at hearing their idol attacked by the buck-toothed moron...

[ßuddaßudd]

I left my phone at home this morning. They think Im at home goofing off.
I wonder when this will be tried to be used in court to prove or disprove something.

[Joe Brower]

Heh. Go get 'em, Al. Hopefully it will keep you from getting involved in much more important things.

And it will put on little bite on Apple, who deserve it for their actions.

Obligatory pic............

We already know where YOU are, Al.

“Anyone who gains access to this single file could likely determine the location of a user’s home, the business he frequents, the doctors he visits, the schools his children attends, and the trips he has taken — over the past months or even a year.”

“And”, Franken continued, “only a Progressive government should have that capability”.

[BigEdLB]

Franken is concerned about folks finding out where he was `digging` for votes in case the recount situation arises again...

[Keith in Iowa]

Whom do I believe? Stuart Smalley, or an expert in geolcation technology? I won’t believe Stuart. Ever.

We’re killing people in Libya because...well, I guess because we can, and he’s worried about this? This guy would stand in the middle of a burning house and complain that he didn’t like the wallpaper.
