iPhone users beware

If you have an iPhone running iOS 4.0 there is a feature you may not be aware of.  Your phone is recording your location AT ALL TIMES. The information is downloaded to your computer every time you connect your phone to it.  And the file on your computer can be easily translated to a map that shows where you have been.

Imagine if you had an ex that was stalking or harrassing you and they got ahold of this information.  For those that run around on the downlow this could be a major embarrassment.  Apple has so far been quiet about this, but the word is spreading fast across the globe.
