The stuff that grabs whatever it can and uploads it to their private servers. Do you think Apple has "dipped" into our private data for its own purposes? Why wouldn't they -- everyone else was doing it. And btw, they still are doing it. They promised to change the way the system works, but they haven't changed it yet. And what about all the data that was uploaded who-knows-where. Can't put the toothpaste back in the tube. How many apps do you have on your iPad or iPhone? Do you know which ones are hacking your life right now?? Is Apple helping you? I don't see any evidence of actual help. All this on the day before they announce that they're going to apply the same approach that worked so well on iOS on Mac OS. </span><a name="imgSrchttpscriptingcomimages20120216toothpastegifWidth135Height135Border0StylefloatRightPaddingleft15pxPaddingbottom5pxPaddingtop10pxPaddingright15pxAltaPictureNamedToothpastegiftheOnlyAHrefhttpscriptingcomstories20120213thebiggerquestionpathraisehtmlmalwareaThatWeKnowOfInTheAppleEcosystemIsSoftwareThatAppleBlessedThroughItsReviewProcessTheStuffThatGrabsWhateverItCanAndUploadsItToTheirPrivateServersDoYouThinkAppleHasDippedIntoOurPrivateDataForItsOwnPurposesWhyWouldntTheyEveryoneElseWasDoingItAndBtwTheyStillAreDoingItTheyPromisedToChangeTheWayTheSystemWorksButTheyHaventChangedItYetAndWhatAboutAllTheDataThatWasUploadedWhoknowswhereCantPutTheToothpasteBackInTheTubeHowManyAppsDoYouHaveOnYourIpadOrIphoneDoYouKnowWhichOnesAreHackingYourLifeRightNowIsAppleHelpingYouIDontSeeAnyEvidenceOfActualHelpAllThisOnTheDayBeforeTheyAnnounceThatTheyreGoingToApplyTheSameApproachThatWorkedSoWellOnIosOnMacOs"> </a><a href="#imgSrchttpscriptingcomimages20120216toothpastegifWidth135Height135Border0StylefloatRightPaddingleft15pxPaddingbottom5pxPaddingtop10pxPaddingright15pxAltaPictureNamedToothpastegiftheOnlyAHrefhttpscriptingcomstories20120213thebiggerquestionpathraisehtmlmalwareaThatWeKnowOfInTheAppleEcosystemIsSoftwareThatAppleBlessedThroughItsReviewProcessTheStuffThatGrabsWhateverItCanAndUploadsItToTheirPrivateServersDoYouThinkAppleHasDippedIntoOurPrivateDataForItsOwnPurposesWhyWouldntTheyEveryoneElseWasDoingItAndBtwTheyStillAreDoingItTheyPromisedToChangeTheWayTheSystemWorksButTheyHaventChangedItYetAndWhatAboutAllTheDataThatWasUploadedWhoknowswhereCantPutTheToothpasteBackInTheTubeHowManyAppsDoYouHaveOnYourIpadOrIphoneDoYouKnowWhichOnesAreHackingYourLifeRightNowIsAppleHelpingYouIDontSeeAnyEvidenceOfActualHelpAllThisOnTheDayBeforeTheyAnnounceThatTheyreGoingToApplyTheSameApproachThatWorkedSoWellOnIosOnMacOs"><img src="http://scripting.com/images/2001/09/20/sharpPermaLink3.gif" class="imgBlogpostPermalink" width="6" height="9" border="0" alt="permalink"></a></div>
