Forbes on Apple's fix of location tracking

Proving that it is as good as any tabloid at smarmy and biased blogging, Forbes duly covered Apple's response to the not so new revelation that the iPhone knows where you have been, sorta.

The writer seems to have a personal axe to grind here, and being a blog, that's OK, but for Pete's sake, own up to that.

I am not surprised by the level of hysteria on this topic, it seems so sinister to have your phone saving location data. And I think calling the cause a"bug" is disingenuous. To me, a bug is when software fails to function right. This seems to me to be better classified as a "screw up". After all, someone wrote code to do this with a very specific purpose, and accomplished that. But no one on the team or in a position of approval thought to ask what happens to that information.

Now I wonder if anyone in the outraged press will dare to investigate the kind of data other phones keep?
