      Steve Jobs is watching you - Traitorware

      Apparently Apple plans to put spyware on it's own products, they are calling it "Traitorware". They are trying to get a patent on it. This patent will allow them to put software on their products that is supposed to cut down on "Jailbreaking" and use of stolen phones, by spying on the people using them.

      Why does this not surprise me? Like what the hell, can't Apple be just be like Microsoft, and make shitty products that no one wants to steal. They do make good products, but the way they act is just god damned retarded.


      As Sony-BMG learned, spying on your customers is bad for business
      REALLY?!?

      As if I needed another reason to avoid Apple products.
