Some techno nerds have discovered that several Mac products have been collecting data on where we've been and we didn't even know it. IPhones, IPads, and some Macbooks save pinpoint locations of when and where you've been while carrying your devices. I can't decide if I like this or not, but I can only imagine the problems that it can cause for the millions of users that have something to hide. As you can imagine, there are a lot of people who are not too happy about this new found feature, but Apple has yet to make a comment on the reasoning behind it. The IPhone uses cellular towers to triangulate your location, instead of GPS signals, so there's no way of getting out of it if you want to keep a signal on your phone. If you want to see your map of where you've been recently you can download the program here.
