   As the old saying goes...   
      
   "Pics, or it didn't happen."   
      
      
   In any event, I'd really want to see a clear comparison laydown of just   
   what personal information is really required for using Vendor A vs B   
   before trying to condemn any one vendor.   
      
   For example, for setting up an Android phone, my understanding is that   
   you're required to provide a Google Account, and to get a Google Account   
   requires providing full name, phone#, date of birth, gender, & location.   
     Gosh, that sounds to be more obtrusive than Apple...is it?
