Oh really?
How about this:http://apple.slashdot.org/story/10/0...hers?art_pos=5
Apple wants to share your location. And of course they approve what you can/can't do/install. I have to say the draconian management of the iPhone seems much. I guess approval and the App Store are a good idea but Apple is really pushing it here, and risking losing out entirely to Android by trying to control everything, a la the Mac vs. Windows battle of the 1990s. And we know how that went.

Google Evil >>>>> Apple Evil.
1) Google snagged passwords, e-mail. Lawsuits filed against Google in US.

2) Google censored search results in China for 4 years
3) Even after pulling out of China, Google is still censoring search results in 23 more countries"

who's evil now?
And almost all iPhones at one time did expose private data
Apple just patched a whopping 64 bugs in iOS for the iPhone, the iPad update to come this FALL!!

What is especially shocking, 47 vulnerabilities fixed in Safari 4.1, a lot came from Google and HP sponsored "Tipping Point" people.

Is Apple REALLY putting the "user first"? or themselves cranking out software that isn't ready for the masses?
Apple's closed system hasn't given the security benefits one would come to expect.
they're software bugs. Google have tons of software bugs and poorly designed software as well. remember the entire Google Buzz-Gmail fiasco? here let me remind you.

Google stole people's private data AND censored search results. Do not compare them with software bugs.
The iPad update to come this FALL!!
Oh, my God! That's horrible! Especially when we're comparing Apple to Google. I mean all the Android handsets are getting 2.2... oh, wait...

No. Apple wants to share the location of an anonymous application at runtime. Apple is telling us they will not share any of the private data.
You can decide to not trust or dispute that, but then the only solution is to no by a phone from anyone at all since by definition the OS and carrier always have access to that data all the time.

And Googles response isn't to fix bugs, it it to tell users they authorized the Apps behavior when they downloaded it. AN to expect Malware on the phone, and that it isn't any worse than malware on the PC.
Really.
That was their response according to the article: Android malware is no worse than PC malware.
"want" is not a metric of value, and trying to use it to predict anything is, shall I say, dumb.
Taking a random word out of a sentence, then taking it totally out of context is, shall I say, dumb.
Where was Apple wanting to do anything purported to be a predictive metric? Metrics are for measuring. You predict a metrics future values based on some theory. What you responded to wan't trying to do that. So your assessment is as useless as the whole Glenn Beck lack of a denial website.
Oh wait, that wasn't useless, it was just misleading. Like your post.
