After all the scary news about smart phones broadcasting people's
locations, I can't believe that

1) Some genius doesn't build a smart phone with no location tracking
and corner the market on people who want no part of it.  There's money
to be made, genius!

2) Manufacturers don't put a control (preferably a hardware switch) on
the annoying things to *reliably* leave the feature turned off.

3) Customers don't raise a ruckus and demand that the feature be put
under their control, or else.

Americans are heroin addicts, who will suck up anything, as long as
they get their shot every half hour.
