  No offense, but 1) see my earlier footnote, 2) the *phone* doesn't
track, it's about the - *different* kinds of - *software* on the phone,
throwing all that software in one big bucket only leads to
misinformation and paranoia and 3) read the *whole* article and try to
understand what it *really* says and what it does *not* say, by might be
implied by the uncareful reader.
