Does the iPhone Location Tracker Revelation Worry You?

All the apps that people use, like "check in" and other like it are much worse than some "supposed" data being stored on the iphone, that I guarantee other smart phones have the same issue. Every time you make a call from a cell phone, your location is tracked and stored by your cell phone company. And if you actually read this stupid allegation, it says the person has to have access to your phone and then sync it to a computer. If your phone is password protected or it is not the computer you normally sync your phone to, instead of it downloading the data it could wipe the phone. Seriously, have some proof before you go throwing allegations at a company like Apple just because they happen to be succeeding in a poor economy.

Is not unheard of people supplying proof when making such statement.
How about it ? Prove...

This whole article misses the mark.
What should be discussed is that the FBI/CIA track your location without warrants because they have their authority through the Patriot Act. Some of these agents even moonlight for a terrorist organization called "Egenekon" and sell that information collected on Americans with Armenian heritage.
Egenekon is a state sponsored terrorist organization closely affiliated with the Taliban and Al Queda aka "Mujahadeen."
These are the kinds of things that take the fiction novel "1984" and turn it into reality.
