Operatiunea LocationGate

Bud Tribble, un vechi colaborator al lui Steve Jobs, veteran Nextra si Sun, a depus astazi marturie in fata congresului US despre cazul Locationgate.
El a explicat din nou, clar si concis ca Apple nu strange informatiile despre locatie stranse de iOS.

Acestea sunt de fapt informatii despre antenele GSM si WiFi colectate de iOS pentru localizare mai rapida si informatiile, desi nu sunt criptate, sunt protejate de aplicatii.
Iata declaratia lui:

"We do not share customer information with third parties without our customers’ explicit consent. Apple does not track users’ locations. Apple has never done so and has no plans to do so. An Apple device does not send to Apple any specific device information associated with a user. The purpose of the cache is to allow the device to more quickly and reliably respond to location requests. Apple was never tracking an individual user’s location. The data seen on the iphone was not the location past or present of the iPhone, but the location of cell towers surrounding the phone. Although the cache was not encrypted, it was protected from other apps on the phone."
"cell phone towers and WiFi hotspots, and the phone’s knowledge of what you can receive, is how the phone can determine your location”


Acum ca iOS 4.3.3 a rezolvat aceasta problema, am inteles si noi ce face Apple cu aceste informatii, putem sa ingropam acest scandal langa Antennagate si Glassgate ?
Chiar nu cred ca Steve Jobs va mai zice ceva nou cand vine randul sau.
