Another Open Source Example

Location Bug

On the iPad and iPhone, there is a location gathering technique that tracks the places of usage. Apple claims to be fixing this "bug" soon but the users are already are creating a problem. An unencrypted file stored in these devices constantly records your location. An open source application was used to plot the data that the reporter who wrote this articles phone recorded. There have already been lawsuits against apple because of this "bug".

What do you think about this? Is it wrong? right? Does Apple have the right to do this?
