An anonymous reader writes "The Guardian reports that researchers have found a hidden file on all iPhones, iPads and any computers to which they synchronize, logging timestamped latitude and longitude coordinates of the user since June 2010. A tool is available on their website to check on your own."

It's not like someone is going to break into your house to steal your iphone location logs. Besides, if my phone or ipad gets ripped-off, It may actually help to reveal where the thief's travels took him. Possibly implicating other theives. I think it's good that Apple is thinking ahead this way. Everyone can be an active participant in crime fighting.
Maybe this will even be enough of a deterrent that the 'other' handset manufacturers will adopt the same strategy for their devices. It could mean the end of technogadget theivery altogether. Also, this is a perfect example of an instance where Apple has pioneered another idea which will change the world to make it better, but they will never get the credit for it. Steve invented the Linux kernel you know... He and Chuck Norris.. it's all over the internet, go read it for yourself.

I just got an 'attaboy' from this super-hot girl I've been into for a long time and got with my boss. I can't say I'm very happy about either.
