Apple just goes along with this, like with many other "technical errors", do you sincerly believe that it's technical error that they collect data of every move you do and sync it with itunes, or that they accept nothing but credit cards, or that they update your phone without asking, or even remove an app that you bought? I could find references to each of these claims, but it's not worth it, because you decide.

But don't get me wrong, as much as I was amused by this, I'm that much sorry for you too on the other side. Because you dear Hackerfriend are getting treated like shit [1] by Apple so much that even cartoons start joking about it. The bad thing is that you can't do much about it other than buying into the other "do not evil" Android phone.
