Locationgate: South Park Takes on Apple and Steve Jobs

It just wouldn’t make sense if South Park didn’t have a say regarding Apple’s “ooooh, we’re not tracking you” thing. Gawker has the video available online here.

Ever since news broke that Apple is tracking iPhone users’ location, it’s unleashed a whole storm of controversy surrounding data privacy. The whole thing revolves around a single file called “consolidated.db” which stores a user’s data.

And, it’s just Kyle – not Cartman – who needs to pay a little bit more attention to the Terms of Service.

    I bet the ‘Appleholes’ loved it! Maybe they are realizing that they are buying overpriced merchandise (8gbs ‘I-Pod’ for $149 when I can buy the same 8gbs from another major manufacturer for $59 and not waste $90 bucks) and finally will come to their senses!! P.S. Both are made in China so why send them more money in these economic times!!

    Trey and Matt are the best! I say that as a decades-long Mac aficionado and officer in my local Mac users’ group.

    Q: Is nothing sacred?
