OMG, is this hysteria going to lead to some awkward system of caching GPS location, leading to a horrible customer experience? Will Apple resort to a system where it asks the user at install time a confusing question of whether they want to cache GPS locations for better performance or not? Maybe they will encrypt the GPS file and ask the user for a password each time it needs to be accessed? Or each time location info is needed it will have to make a server request, causing more congestion on the net. How about Apple design a compromised experience that satisfies the politicians, media and security researchers out there? That'll be great. Why isn't there an uproar over the contacts, music playlists, photos, emails and other info that's synced to your personal computer? That's private information too?
