White iPhone Finally Starts Hitting Shelves
The wait is finally over, if there still was one.

After numerous false starts and countless jokes, the notorious white Apple iPhone began shipping to stores over the weekend.

Both AT&T and Verizon will sell the white iPhone, which was supposed to be released along with the black iPhone 4.

But production problems pulled the phone from the shelf before it ever appeared in stores or online for sales.

Now Apple Insider reports that the white iPhone 4 will hit stores by next week.

Your phone, yourself: When is tracking too much?

Your phone, yourself: When is tracking too much?

If you’re worried about privacy, you can turn off the function on your smartphone that tracks where you go. But that means giving up the services that probably made you want a smartphone in the first place. After all, how smart is an iPhone or an Android if you can’t use it to map your car trip or scan reviews of nearby restaurants?
The debate over digital privacy flamed higher this week with news that Apple’s popular iPhones and iPads store users’ GPS coordinates for a year or more. Phones that run Google’s Android software also store users’ location data. And not only is the data stored — allowing anyone who can get their hands on the device to piece together a chillingly accurate profile of where you’ve been — but it’s also transmitted back to the companies to use for their own research.
