That’s grand, coming from a reader of a site called Overlawyered.

In Libertopia, we all have $300/hour lawyers on retainer to look over every adhesion contract we’re required to sign in order to be a functional member of society.

But in this real world, most of us can’t afford that.

But the underlying theme was simple: read before you agree.

I’m at a loss as to why the issue is an issue, but then I feel that way about most news nowadays.

I would think that, were one’s phone stolen, the list of past locations is a fairly low concern. How many device users retype their password every time they check e-mail?

Needless to say, I have no connection to or knowledge of the lawsuit.

PS. I’m just glad the quote for which I am being recognized this time doesn’t have any swearing…

PPS I still hate everyone for the April Fool’s Day gag…

Best bookmark I have had, and one of my oldest!

Apple has this one locked down rather tightly.
