Description

This has done the rounds over the last week. Yes, I am profoundly annoyed about this. Yes, were it another company, I would probably be saying "well, I'm going to stop using their products" over this. And when Apple produce products that actively use this patent or similar technologies, I will avoid using them, and/or seek ways to circumvent them. Just, y'know, so we're clear that yes, I worry about the privacy-infringing moves of companies I like, too.
