Thanks for the article, Tyler. I believe the day is coming where a "feature" for a phone will be its ability to operate without these "backdoors" built into them. And the phone will be just as advanced as anything out there.

yep the new Maps app in iOS 6  ( not google Maps now )  sucks arse big time

the main issue i have with it.


Tyler  Apple are always putting in patent applications in for things they are working on  a massive amount never end up seeing the light of day 

also this type of thing all ready exists  with some of the mdm software out there  that i have seen  also it is not only a thing that apple do.  just the media are focusing on Apple caus they are Apple.
