No, actually the image is not used to make a joke about middle eastern people as terrorists (not sure how you pulled that one out of your ass, unless of course you were responding to Zubieta's comment). I am in fact of Persian descent (and italian, nice mix if I say so myself) and I apologize if that's how you took…

Is it ok if I "lol" at this? I mean, I laughed out loud for real at work. But, in order to express that in my comment, I would either have to say, "Whew, boy! Your comment was hilarious, ThePriceofEggsinMalta" or "I really found that to be funny. I'm glad that was posted!"

Locust, most people understand this. The real security concern is not what non-identifiable, anonymous data is being stored on Apple's servers for location awareness, etc. Rather, it's the fact that this data is backed-up in every single backup sync with iTunes and stored on PCs/Macs.
