iPhone secretly tracking your life is as boring
Location data of phones is valuable for map
As these two companies fight for control of the mobile computing, they have increasingly used their customers phones as sensors, collected data to close nearby cell towers and Wi-Fi hotspots.
Google and Apple may use this data, the accuracy of everything on the phone to improve the situation used. Contains the maps and navigation services, but also advertising target, people in a particular place - a potentially large company that is always just out of the ground. In fact, the information become so valuable that the companies are ready, you push on the envelope been privacy to pick up.
"Google sees a world where even a small company can promote products to consumers in the vicinity on a mobile device," said Alistair Goodman, Chief Executive of Placecast, a location based advertising company here. "This is a massive market."
The companies use the cell data Tower and hot-spot, maps of the world build, cards that help smartphones quickly to identify their locations. With the signals as navigation beacons is in places where GPS satellite signals, such as urban areas or somewhere inside are especially useful.
Shifting loyalties and legal battles in the world of the directory services recommend heat up competition in this market.
Apple was initially based on the technology from Skyhook Wireless, a company, which was a pioneer in the technique of with Wi-Fi hotspots for location. But last year started his own data collecting. And end last year, Skyhook sued Google, charging that Google copied its technology and Motorola to break contracts with Skyhook and take advantage of Google's competing service had convinced.
Google and Apple have said that they anonymously collect information and use it, their databases of Wi-Fi hot spots keep up to date, not to keep track of individuals. But because sensitive information is a person, the location, the practices have raised privacy fears.
The use of it by the companies has been under control since last week, when two technology researchers, reported that a file on many iPhones and iPads keeps track all sites visited by a user. The file is not encrypted and is copied, personal computer to the people when they synchronize their devices.
The report prompted legislators in the United States, Apple for statements on issues. She said several European Governments would open investigations into Apple's practices. On Monday sued two customers Apple accuse it of privacy invasion and computer was. They claim the company is secretly record and store position and movement of the iPhone and iPad users.
End of last week, Google agreed to it information close nearby networks of Android users, collected, although it said, that it was tracking not individuals and that it allows users to refuse to participate.
Lisa Madigan, Attorney General of Illinois, said Google and Apple data collection practices on Monday to explain them, their location.
Apple has refused to comment on the issue.
On Monday, the site MacRumors published an E-mail from Steven p. jobs, Apple's co-founder and Executive of Chief, where he on a person, who said was that he said planned switch phone on a Google Android, because Google not tracked him to be. The response said: "Oh yes, they do." We are not anyone. "The info floating around to is wrong."
Apple rejected it, which confirm the authenticity of the E-mail.
Some security experts said they believed Apple not track people was, but rather data collection can update its location databases, because Wi-Fi networks quickly come and go. A letter from Apple in July to two members of Congress, Edward j. Markey, Democrat of Massachusetts and Joe L. Barton, Republican of Texas, seems to confirm this and offers detailed description of the technology.
In the letter, Apple said it collects anonymous location data and only if consumers agree the location using system services based such as cards, or any apps, the questions, for the position of the user, and for its advertising, iAds. The company said it started, citing its own databases of site information in 2010. Explain their need to collect data of their customers phones, Apple wrote "These databases continuously need to be updated.",
Security experts said they believed that the file location was data on iPhones and iPads intended as a "cache", that it would help determine his location faster and that it could help Apple feed huge database of network locations. But they said that Apple would have to be more diligent to encrypt the file and delete old data.
"I know not why she wants all to keep the data on the device," said Mark silk, a security consultant information in Silicon Valley.
Began Skyhook Wi-Fi hotspots by collecting data about send a fleet of more than 500 cars to drive around the streets of every major city in the United States, Europe and other Asian countries.
"We ran the world," said Ted Morgan, Skyhook's Chief Executive. The company updates the database, by he determined his cars remap areas and phones as sensors with, when a user requests data location.
Google, which started the photos for its service StreetView this data to Wi-Fi hotspots with the same fleet of vehicles, raised, said that it it not so last year after it was found that E-mails and other data gathered by hot spots streamed. It collects information on customers phones now much of this data and traffic.
Market could a 2.5 billion dollars by 2015, according to frost & Sullivan, mobile advertising and display in a location bound are much more profitable than other map. But Mr Morgan said, valuable could be the location data in areas of the Internet and mobile phones.
For example, a retailer could, the eight stores in the city pattern has to information about walk to determine, where the next output open use.
Mr Morgan said "You insight into human behavior have in fact, we have never before had".

Samsung Countersues Apple patents
SEOUL, South Korea (Reuters)-klagten Samsung Electronics patent on Friday against Apple about the iPhone and iPad in a case of tit-for-tat after Apple claimed Samsung smartphones and tablets "slavishly" copied his products.
Apple filed a lawsuit last Friday Samsung accuse their iPhone and iPad, patents and trademarks to violate, such as the popular gadgets from the rapid rise of the rival devices, based on Google free Android operating system under threat are.
Business relations between the two companies could compromise the legal battle. Apple, based in Cupertino, California, relies heavily on Samsung for components such as chips and LCDs.
Operating systems of the Smartphone market in the world were the decisive battle for dominance. Android company ComScore became the most popular smartphone software in the United States in the three months in February, before the software of Apple and research in motion, according to a recent survey of research.
One is the decision makers on the back of the boom of the Android and Apple's strongest competitor in the Tablet market, the fastest-growing smartphone with Samsung models in three sizes.
In a statement, Samsung on Friday, that Apple's iPhone and iPad injured his 10 mobile technology patents and it said that Apple asks to stop to compensate for injury to its technology and the company.
The complaints in South Korea, Japan and Germany, involved 10 claims of violations, especially the patents for power reduction during the data transfer, 3 g technology for reducing errors during data transfer and wireless data communication.
"Samsung actively responds to the legal actions against us to protect our intellectual property and our continuous innovation and growth in the mobile communication ensure,", the statement said.
Global technology companies are locked in a Web of litigation if they try to defend their share of the booming Tablet and Smartphone market.
Strong sales of the iPhone and iPad translate into more revenue for Samsung. Apple was Samsung's second-largest client after Sony of Japan in the last year about 6.2 trillion Korean won ($5.7 billion) to the sales, and is generally expected to Samsung's top client this year.
The battle comes from Samsung's release of a new version of its successful Galaxy S Smartphone next week in Korea, sales this year meet a crucial product for your goal of 60 million smart phones.
Verizon earnings rise, aided by iPhones
Verizon Communications published first quarter strong in wireless subscribers, helped, by the sale of the Apple iPhone, but profits could impress the impact to your investors.
With subscriber growth beat Wall Street estimates hardly complained some analysts on profit margins and others said sales growth was lower than they the mobile venture Verizon to Verizon Wireless, and Vodafone Group had hoped.
Verizon Wireless posted net additions of 906,000 subscribers, just above the expectations of analysts of from Reuters, who contacted more than 888,000 subscribers had predicted.
Only added Verizon Wireless, the top mobile service, while some more subscribers as yet in the fourth quarter, it was far beyond his arch-rival, AT & T, which in the quarter of 62,000 net subscribers added.
But a crucial issue for investors won the comparing of the two was that AT & T had the although it no longer exclusive access rights for the iPhone, new iPhone customers in the quarter as Verizon.
The expectation was, arrived that hordes of customers would flee AT & T, when the Verizon iPhone, because popular phones occur generally an increase in sales in the quarter when they are introduced.
"It was a stronger new customer drivers for AT & T," said Steve Clement, analyst at Pacific Crest.
Verizon, which the iPhone on store shelves on February 10 made, said that sold 2.2 million iPhones by the end of the quarter, compared to the 3.6 million iPhone sales at AT & T, which had the phone for the entire quarter.
About 22 percent of Verizon's moved iPhone customers from rival carriers, but about 23 percent of AT & T were also new for the company. This implies that Verizon less than 500,000 new customers through the iPhone, won more than 800,000 iPhone customers during AT & T of other airlines added.
In addition said higher sales of advanced devices like the iPhone at a high cost for Verizon, came as their profit margin, Michael Nelson, an analyst of Mizuho plunged.
The margin was per cent 43.7, compared with 46 percent, which it a year ago based on earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization published.
While the iPhone to Verizon subscriber numbers increase contributed to the sales were not much better than expectations, as some investors had hoped analyst.
"Over all, it was a solid quarter, not necessarily a blowout quarter," said Mr Nelson.
Verizon earnings rose to $1.44 billion, or 51 cents per share, from $ 443 million or 16 cents per share in the same quarter a year before, when it strong onetime costs shoulders.
Revenues increased to $26.99 billion of 26.9 billion US $ in the same period; the average analysts expectation was $26.86 billion, according to Thomson Reuters.
Shares of Verizon fell to close 88 cent or 2.3 percent to $36.91.

Mobile applications to help with parenting - app smart
The parents are probably texting, play games or read Facebook posts. But in view of the rapid development of mobile software market, it is possible that the parents use apps that somehow a a kid life little better to make.
Not likely, perhaps, but possible.
Two apps show promise in this area: RedRover (free of charge for Apple, but accessible to anyone with mobile Web Access) and baby connect ($5 for Apple,) also available via the mobile Web.
Baby connect is their child's health and emotional well-being for parents, the track and stay on schedule with day care or want to play dates. It will appeal to parents who have recorded enough time and energy to the length of their child's NAP or number of the diaper changes.
RedRover is only to the play dates manage built and, because it has a less ambitious scope, it has a larger potential audience.
ITunes users have raved about RedRover and the parenting website cool offered an own praise MOM tech recently. I found generally well deserved Kudos.
Can RedRover, that you plan to play dates more precise than with a generic calendar service and provides links to the production of dates with certain friends. You can quickly select dates and invitees with the app menu and follow the plan, as it comes along.
Based on your location, RedRover places, to together with your friends and proposes to her children, and to places that use certain features, such as clean bathroom or a child-friendly atmosphere to sort the list.
The page for your game date has a "Comments" section where, for example, rainy day alternatives offer.
RedRover saves also to forget the date via e-Mail or SMS you a reminder 15 minutes before you want to start.
"I am the app's here!" Feature can users broadcast their location to a group of friends or all on their list of RedRover. If all of your friends already have foursquare, this is less useful, because your friends locations already should be assigned to this app. And if there a disadvantage to RedRover, it is that the app is less useful if your friends use also, it's not so that you may be a little time you to the try to invest.
RedRover contains also a stats tab. The "call 911" is probably of little use, because only a few people call an app 911, if they choose you directly could be opened. But you can press the key emergency, RedRover sends a text to contacts in case of emergency, that you have previously obtained.
The message is predefined, so you need not to something, and it includes a link to a map of your location.
While the RedRover in my tests it not done definitely proper. In its database, places play date for example, users can create new entries. I tried this repeatedly, only the software have to close several times. This is probably in the growing pains that are common with new apps, but users should be prepared, be patient.
RedRover requires type also some work on the first the contact information of your friends and create groups. To save time, make this work on the service website, RedRoverApp.com.
Anyway you want to visit the website to the notification settings, tweak because you this on the mobile version not yet possible.
Download new parents who combine baby (for which there is an Android version in the works) they get a little help with the planning and memories, but also many other features
Baby connect is comprehensive and well designed mobile software for the management of a baby's life, but it is also flexible enough to remain to useful, as the child grows older. Obviously, their usefulness in the course of time silent or napping habits, lose most of the baby centric features, such as the persecution of the child. It would be nice, able, hidden symbols for these features, as the child grows it.
But for features such as milestones, where users of the baby log first smile or tooth, you can further your own milestones moves up as your child in and over the toddler years. ("First grocery tantrum" in the sense comes.) (Or perhaps, "first lie trying on high stakes.")
In the field of play dates, you can also customize the drop off/pick up section. Set reminders for baggage drop-off times, you can comments, want to insert, for example. You sign up the location or details of a friend add dietary or gift preferences.
Caregivers love that baby close it is easy to use with one hand on the phone, so that you keep items child can log on.
And baby connect is one of the few mobile apps that is significantly better on an iPhone as an iPad. The iPad version ($5), which must be purchased separately is good for the review of the notes on the iPhone. But because notes of baby Connect.com are synchronized, it is best, just sign up on the Web site free of charge on the iPad browser.
At that price, the you almost over proud can devote your attention to the app instead of your child, the next time you are in the public.
Quick calls
Djay ($20 for iPad) transforms the device into a scratchpad with songs from your library. Some critics iTunes, who say they are professional D.J. scores tell the app not on their standards, but hobbyists and amateurs him. Sprint's Green ID Pack on certain phones and tablets is installed, but any Android users can download the eco-friendly apps in the Pack. TreeHugger, green now and shop green belong to the apps listed. With iRecycle (free for iPhone and Android), you identify what you want to recycle and the app tells you where to take it.
16 Links to take iPhone use to next level
But a little deeper into the iPhone dig latest operating system, iOS 4.3 - iPhone for the iPhone 3GS and the AT & T 4 - and it is to master a different level. (Sorry, Android users, but that OS has so many versions and skins that a guide is not very quickly much of a guide.) Beyond this basic iPhone controls is an advanced links and tweaks, some of which do not know even hard-core users may be present.
Double-tap Even if your iPhone is locked, you can access the audio controls on the home button double tap if the lock screen is displayed. This will save you the time to unlock the phone, open a music playback app like iPod and learn the controls for volume and track. This function is not limited to Apple's iPod app. If you use Pandora, for example, the same technique of its controls is displayed.
Language access If you press and hold the home button as the phone locked is, get voice control to place a phone call (or FaceTime call), or get one of the iPhone's other said commands.
Say time Voice control can dial phone numbers ("dial 212-555-1212") or people ("select MOM, mobile"), and it can control music ("Play Music," "play artist Earth, wind & fire," play album "that's the way of the world," "play more songs," "Shuffle", etc.).
But did you know it when you can say, is it? Say "What time is it?" and your phone will say the time back to you. It sounds stupid, but it comes in handy if you are noise and do not have the time or drag your phone feel like. (And who is more watches?)
Link to search Swiping to the right of your first home screen is the search window, where you pull up to which you are looking for all contacts, apps, E-mails, calendar appointments and media that have the word.
But the search screen is also a link to Google and Wikipedia. The last two results for each entry are always "search the Web" and "Search Wikipedia," save the time you need to open browsers or apps.
Force-quit you APPS Double-tap while your phone is unlocked revealed the home button a panel of most recently used applications. Swiping moves to the left to help turn through the apps in reverse chronological order with fast app. This is intermediate stuff.
But heavy iPhone ninjas know, press and hold, that an app icon in this Panel will lead to a minus sign next to each to touch about an app in this State will be shut down, a useful move, do you have an app that runs in the background and causes problems.
Music links Swipe that same previously used app screen on the right side and you will get a further link to the playback of music controls. You have the latest operating system, iOS 4.3, displays a button that will call controls for AirPlay, Apple's wireless audio function.
It is here that you switch to the screen rotation lock button, access so that you can enable or disable the iPhones ability of portrait in landscape mode. Swipe will be shown on the right side of this screen and the iPhones volume control once again.
Disk INHIBIT If you the iPhone's volume (because it is used by your children, for example) want to restrict, in settings, you can then iPod. Under "Volume limit" to the maximum volume and set a code to disable the setting. This code can be the lock code for the entire phone, if you have set one of them.
Save WEB images If you tap Web pages in Safari, and hold that any image buttons is called, that the image in the camera roles can save or copy to the Clipboard.
Find words Safari search bar will not only look up websites, it can also be used to find a word or a phrase on a Web page. Type your search term and scrolling to the end of the results; the final result is always the "on this page"; Tap, and you can see, where this term on the page appears you are in here.
Several keyboards You can add keyboard in other languages. General, then keyboard, then international keyboards on settings, then go. Add as many keyboards as you like. The next time that the keyboard is displayed, which will have a small button next to the SPACEBAR with a globe icon on you there. Tap, will have chosen go through the languages (the name of each language appears on the space bar).
Nokia 7,000 jobs in cost-cutting move cut
BERLIN - Nokia, the world's leading mobile phone maker, said on Wednesday that it around would 7,000 jobs in the context of a cost-cutting program, the deeper eliminate the as was expected.
The 12 percent decline in the global labour force of the Finnish company helps trim operating costs by 1 billion that 5,000 to 6,000 would be deleted € or $1.47 billion, a 17 percent reduction until end 2012. analysts had expected.
Stephen Elop, former Microsoft Executive who was in September, Nokia's Chief Executive said that the cuts and reorganization were needed for the preparation of the partnership with Microsoft. Nokia plans to finally end the Symbian operating system as rolls it out to smartphones next year in a row from the Microsoft Windows phone software.
Mr. Elop said "with this new focus, we also face reductions in our workforce,". "This is a difficult reality, and we work closely with our employees and partners to identify long-term re-employment programs."
In a statement Nokia, reducing said a the 4,000 jobs, especially in the UK, Denmark and Finland, and through the transfer of 3,000 employees responsible due to the loss for your Symbian operating system, Accenture, global technical advisor for the company would be achieved.
The company, which has its seat, in Espoo, Finland 59,080 in his business cellphone end of 2010. The figure includes employees from Nokia Siemens Networks, network joint venture, and with the NAVTEQ, a U.S. mapping undertaking it has data.
Nokia produces 108.5 million cell phones last year 32 percent of the world market, but this year the company leadership assigned when the cellphone revenue to Apple, the maker of the iPhone, according to Strategy Analytics, a research firm.
In addition to the loss of jobs, the official after negotiations with representatives of labor be, Nokia said it planned to consolidate Division research and development, so that each site had a unique role and mission. Nokia has mobile phone R. & D. in Finland, China, India, Germany, England, Denmark and San Diego.
Some sites will grow, be other contract and some will be closed as a result of the reorganization, Nokia said without more information.
"This move was largely expected and follows Nokia's need to reduce their cost structure", Michael Schroder said Bank, a private bank in Helsinki, analyst at FIM.
Nokia's error capitalisation of the Smartphone boom has the Finnish company market share and prestige is the focus of its sector of hardware and communication software and applications has shifted.
Ericsson, the global leader in the wireless network equipment, said on Wednesday that the boom is still strong, as reported that the demand for mobile broadband sales 17 percent in the first quarter in 53 billion Swedish kronor a year earlier lifted, or $8.7 billion.
Profit at Ericsson, based in Stockholm, more than tripled to 4.1 billion crowns of 1.3 billion kroner a year earlier, the company who attributed costs to lower and more profitability in the networks Division.
Most of the demand from the United States and Canada came, Ericsson said where expand wireless operators such as Verizon Wireless, AT & T and Rogers Communications the capacity of their 3 g networks, and install new and faster networks based on a technology long-term evolution called, handle increasing traffic.
Ericsson cancelled doubled 2010 the level of traffic in the world global mobile networks 2009 and would doubled continue annually for the next few years.
IPhone apps, that you have snapshots - State of the art

The chances are minimal that your mobile phone is the best camera; It does not zoom, cannot can not freeze action shots in low light, and is generally mediocre photos. But it is the camera that you most often have with you. No wonder mobile phones have become the most popular cameras on Earth.
In particular the iPhone. The camera is just OK - it is a 5-megapixel work with decent color and clarity, as long as the topic is still holding. But in recent times, apps have been this thing on the photographic show. The iPhone is, let's face it, really an iComputer. And because it can be controlled by software, the world's programmers have wasted no time in examining the iPhone camera and add or replace, its properties.
This is no niche software category; We are not discussing recipe management software or genealogy software. The category is photo apps in the app store teeming options - 4,000 of them price fixed at a dollar or two. 2,500 are free of charge, and they are very popular with iPhoners. To replace some of the apps from Apple camera app. Many more expand your creative options by adding filters, editing tools, quick motion features and panoramas. Most have tendrils fine, shoot right in Facebook, Twitter, Flickr and elsewhere cellphone photos online will be shared.
To save you it would take four years (and thousands of dollars) you to try out all 6,500 apps, here is a handy cheat sheet. This the coolest, best and most useful photo apps for the iPhone, like my ladies and gentlemen, my friends are recommended photographer and my twitter followers. These apps are, use the technical term, wicked-cool.
Camera APP replacement The iPhone camera taking app is in order. But it is to start slow, slow to a photo to focus slowly up. Enable or disable the Flash is clumsy, require two taps on transparent, hard to read buttons.
If you replace it with an app like QuickPix ($2), all of these problems disappear. The app opens much faster than Apple's, take pictures much faster and can even snap stills while you shoot video. The Flash is a single symbol, which you turn on or off tap. Set this to your home screen where Apple's camera app sits, drag camera in a folder somewhere, and much fewer pictures you'll miss.
People also swarms camera + ($2) - not because it is faster, but because it does so much more. The stabilising function ends such as blurry shots, because there the shutter not raised until the phone way and/or sensor detects that a second keep it still for the fraction. There is a self timer and two per-second burst mode. You can crop, rotate, or sharpen a photo, add a frame and apply effects to it (black and white, sepia, etc.) - and in contrast to most of the effects apps, this one you can control the intensity of the effect.
When you are finished playing, you can send your masterpiece on Facebook, Twitter, Flickr, or E-mail. Pro camera ($2) a similar, more crispy designed, more extensive app adds things like independent focus and exposure points (tap on the screen), full color correction and a 6 X digital zoom, which works surprisingly well. The amount of high end swears by it.
FILTER-APPS A filter in digital photo Lingo, is a special effect: rotate a photo in black and white, for example, or make it granular, looks oversaturated, faded, ancient or otherwise degraded. (For some reason are apps that your images look as though they, recorded by cheap cameras in the 1970s the latest craze.)
You can't beat the attractiveness and the creativity of 100 cameras in 1 for $1. It works with existing photos and new to take, and you can combine their effects (100 of them, get it?). The name of this filter are charming. They are called things like "rushed and the desire," "The warm chocolate, we ate that slowly" and "Bold something as soon say in the morning."
Your souped-up masterpiece sends a tap to Facebook, Twitter, Flickr, SmugMug, dropbox, email, or a printer.
Hipstamatic ($2) is white-hot on iTunes these days. It is the screen of the iPhone in a perfect replica of a cheap plastic toy camera last days; swiping your finger over the lens or the Flash or the movie window, you can select different lenses, Flash units, or film type. It is just a glorified effects picker, and you have extra for additional options to pay. Nevertheless, it is cool and creative and really fun. (Some of the results see Flickr.com and search for "Hipstamatic.")
Pogue's posts: follow-up to the Apple situation riot
Now, for better or worse Locationgate is about. On Wednesday, Apple responded with a statement, in which the existence of a file in the disk backup of each iPhone and cellular iPad. He said "Apple not the location of your iPhone tracked,". "Apple has never done and has no plans to ever do." So basically, Apple says that the researchers on both counts were wrong. First of all, the "secret file" contains information about the nearby Wi-Fi hotspots and cell towers, not your exact location. And secondly, your device sends information to Apple, although encrypted into an anonymous form. A part of Apple's answer is a little convincing, says David Pogue. Read the rest of the post on Pogue's posts.

More iPhone tips and the call to Android users
The iPhones headphones have their own set of links and features.In today's paper I wrote about some less than known tips and shortcuts for Apple's iPhone. But in all the things you can do on the phone itself a subset of tips that have to do with the headphones controller which is, obviously, for some iPhone users prove useful while a little more.
The controls on iPhone compatible earphones are always the same, regardless of manufacturer. There are three buttons: at the top, a louder button; at the bottom, a quieter button; and in the Middle, a multifunction button.
The volume control work for music (iPod or any other music app) or phone calls. But the Center button has a bunch of different functions.
For music:
-The Center button press stops or music is restarted.
-Two opts for the next track. Press three times (it takes some speed) plays at the beginning of the track in either backs up or, if you are few seconds of a song within the first - to the previous track.
-If you press twice and hold, you will quickly by the line forward. If you are to the point in the song you want to let the Los. Three times, press and hold (extra Ninja points for you, if you can pull this off) does the same with rewind.
-At any time if you press and hold the Center button, listen to you, that the two-tone chime indicating voice command is active. The let go and speak the voice command.
For the phone:
-Press the Center button will stop to answer incoming call or a call in progress. Twice sends an incoming call to the voicemail.
-If you receive a new call while on the phone, will press once the first call is put on hold and answer the other call. Press once to, you can call between the two jump.
-If you are on two calls, to press and hold the key completely on one side launch and again on another call.
You have any tips, secret iPhone? Share them below. And Android users, what links have you found?
An Apple error provides jobs in iPhone location data
"We someone, was not tracking still" jobs Mr. said in an interview on Wednesday. "Never have." "Never is."
Mr. jobs said that Apple would fix the error in a free software update, which would release it in the next few weeks.
Mr.. jobs, which is currently on medical leave, has the question along with two Apple executives - Philip W. Schiller, senior Vice President of worldwide product marketing, and Scott Forstall, senior Vice President of iPhone software. A week ago, reported two researchers that she apparently visited had discovered a file in Apple devices with which to data of the sites by users in the previous 12 months. The discovery raised fears, that its users to track Apple was and prompted investigations by various European Governments and claims according to statements made by United States legislators.
Earlier on Wednesday booked Apple a statement on its Web site as its system the file used to identify a phone location, to explain.
Mr. jobs defended the timing of Apple's response to the controversy, saying that "rather than executed, to the Department p.r.," explained it to determine what exactly happened.
He said "The first thing we always do when a problem is brought to us, we try to isolate and determine if it is real,". "It took about a week to do an investigation and write a response, which is pretty fast for something this complicated technically."
He added: "Scott and Phil and myself were all involved in the response writing, because we think it is important."
Some privacy advocates that hard last week critically praised Apple the company's response saying it was a step in the right direction.
"Apple recognized an error and they fixed it", said Marc Rotenberg, executive Director of the electronic privacy information center, in an interview. "This is a good thing."
Confirming speculation from said some security experts, Apple in the communication published on its website that the file in the people's iPhones no protocol with their sites, but rather "the positions of the cell towers and Wi-Fi hotspots around the wardie more than one hundred miles away can be the iPhone's location from the iPhone."
Apple said it used the data that it a cache called a device location faster than calculated by GPS satellites.
But Apple acknowledged that it had made mistakes, it due to errors in the programming, in save the data for a long time, keep clear the file and store the data, even if disable user location services had selected.
"The system is incredibly complex," said Mr. Forstall. "We thoroughly test this but in such a complex system, sometimes, there are places where we could do better."
Apple said that it would reduce the location cache not more than seven days on the iPhone. The company also said it would stop the cache on the people would secure computer delete and completely user clears the cache location services.
Apple also said that it its database with Wi-Fi hotspots and cell towers with its customers phones as sensors updated. But it said user based could not find the file on the phone, and that it collected the information in an anonymous and encrypted form. Can identify the company of the phone user from the data, it was said.
While some security experts about the presence of the file have known for some time, the issue made headlines last week after their results at a Technology Conference in San Francisco reported the researchers. Apple came under heavy criticism for its silence after the discovery.
The report location attracted attention from some government officials, including Senator Al Franken, of Minnesota Democrats "secretly compiling a star at Apple questions letter, why it was" the data and what it used for would be. Congressman Edward Markey, a Democrat from Massachusetts and Lisa Madigan, Illinois Attorney General, sent letters to Apple asking for an explanation of the topic.
Google acknowledged last week that also data collected it, on the situation of the Wi-Fi hotspots and cell towers from its users.
A tidbit about possible future product plans contained Apple statement. The company said it also traffic from its phones and collected related to build traffic database tablets to a lot. Apple offer real time traffic information along with navigation advice would allow. Google already uses mobile to collect real-time traffic information.
Mr. jobs fell to questions about his health or any plans, send it back to Apple. Last week, during the company's quarterly financial report, Timothy D. Cook, Chief Operating Officer, said: "he continues to be involved in important strategic decisions, and I know that he wants to be back full time."
Nick contributed reporting from New York Bilton.
Follow-up to the Apple situation riot
Now, for better or worse Locationgate is about.
As you may recall, said a few researchers last week, that she would found a secret file in the disk backup of every iPhone and cellular IOS. This file, they said, a time stamp list which everywhere where you have with your phone been since June of last year (or, if you iOS 4 installed) contain.
There was no indication they said that this information about Apple, the Government or the Warren Commission has been transferred It was just sitting on your hard drive, accessible only with UNIX commands (or an app that wrote the researchers). But conspiracy theorists went immediately into hysteria.
On Wednesday, Apple responded with a statement, in which the presence of the file. He said "Apple not the location of your iPhone tracked,". "Apple has never done and has no plans to ever do."
The statement goes on to say: "the iPhone is not logging of your site." Rather it is maintaining a database of Wi-Fi hotspots and cell towers to your current location, of which some are more than one hundred miles away may be appropriate from your iPhone to help, quickly and accurately calculate its location when requested, your iPhone. Calculation of the phone location with only GPS satellite data can take several minutes. iPhone and can reduce this time after only a few seconds using Wi-Fi hotspot and cell tower of data for a quick search for GPS satellites, even trianguliert its location via Wi-Fi hotspot and cell tower information when GPS is not available (such as indoors or in the basement). These calculations are live "running on the iPhone with a lot of database of Wi-Fi hotspot and cell tower will send geo-tagged in an anonymous and encrypted form data that generated millions of iPhones, the positions of nearby Wi-Fi hotspots and cell towers to Apple."
So basically, Apple says that the researchers on both counts were wrong. First of all, the "secret file" contains information about the nearby Wi-Fi hotspots and cell towers, not your exact location. And secondly, your device sends information to Apple, although encrypted into an anonymous form.
Now, part of the Apple answer is a little convincing. Yeah, OK, the file contains the location based Wi-Fi hotspots and cell towers - in your area. He not so no record, you sat on the park bench. But it is still tracking - they were what city, and is therefore a record of your trip to keep.
Last week I wrote about based on the information currently available, why I don't think that was such a big deal. First, you are the only one with access to your iTunes backup, and probably you already know where you have been. Secondly so many other ways are, your privacy these days, some much more urgent be because this is at risk. (How come, for example no one in hysteria is over 77 million names, E-mail addresses, passwords and possibly credit card numbers, the Sony expresses their PlayStation database were stolen?)
I am confused by the Hypotheticals that come with people with the conspiracy of genes. Dozens of you wrote to tell me, "before you dismiss our privacy from the hand, as far as concerned about an abusive ex-spouse?"
This is totally illogical. First of all, what good is the ex-husband does it to know where you've been iTunes before the last backup? He can return not just to the last month and speak it.
, To find out, where you have been the ex in your home to your computer would have to be but even more important. And listen: If your abusive ex in your home, sit on your computer, you have much bigger problems than the iTunes backup. What you need is not another phone – it's a locksmith.
As well, the whole is now irrelevant. In a software update in the next couple of weeks stops Apple a location database to your computer, (b) store only a week's worth of hot-spot locations and (c) stop HotSpot locations collect, if you turn off location services backed up.
("The reason why the iPhone store as much data is an error, we found out and plan to fix," says Apple, not totally credible.) "We don't think that the iPhone needs to store more than seven days of this data." (You can read interview about the response, including one time with Steve jobs, here.)
In the next update iOS the location list on the phone itself is encrypted in addition.
What is interesting is that carried out Apple also a preventive strike. It revealed something else your iPhone is tracking: traffic data (probably your iPhone is moving as fast, if it on roadways measurement). "Apple traffic database aiming is now anonymous traffic data, a lot of iPhone users an improved traffic service in the next few years build collect." That would be cool.
This is the second time that Apple has found himself neck deep in a riot p.r. where it blamed the problem on an error. Think of the death grip question, where the iPhone would lose 4 signal bars when your hand the left lower corner covered? And as Apple said that the problem was partly a bug in how the phone counted the number of the bars on the screen to display?
Both times, Apple was apologetic, but it took at least measures through a software update. In this case at least, seems satisfied security consultant. Apparently, the Locationgate case is finished.
Now then. About this PlayStation credit cards…
