   And yet, everything you just said, is dead wrong, and easily proven so.   
      
     "Researchers from the University of Maryland have uncovered a   
      significant privacy vulnerability in Apple's Wi-Fi-based Positioning   
      System (WPS). This vulnerability enables attackers to track devices   
      globally by exploiting the way Apple's WPS operates, raising   
      serious privacy concerns."

   about Apple products that you hate - yet which you don't even understand?
