Wa, scary. The more advance technology is, the more vulnerable we are, and the more we lose our privacy. I guess people who are cynical about technology and are slow in embracing have their reasons to be so.
At the end of the day, we just have to assume that whatever technology gadgets/apps we come in touch with, we leave our 'footprints' behind and if anyone wants to dig them out, they can and are able to do so. So, don't reveal too much private and intimate details and don't have illegal dealings. Or keep your engagement on the net/web/apps to the minimum if you are a shy and private individual. I think if we bear that in mind, we are quite safe to use technology to our advantage.

It does sound too much of a coincidence that the bug was exposed right after Tim's Cook tweet. Seemed like someone was bent on rubbing it in his face. Oh well, who knows....
