iTunes is a Spyware Application!

Well this one sat me back in the seat. Did you know that the latest version of iTunes calls home and tells Apple what you listening to. Seeing that your logged in to your account most of the time when iTunes is loaded how do you like the thought that iTunes is sending your playlist back to Apple HQ and then they in turn are targeting ads at you.

So it seems that Apple is joining Sony in being very bad net citizens, at the very least they are invading the privacy of 20+ million iTunes users. I am sure we are going to hear a lot more on this and hopefully Apple will have learned from the Sony fiasco and come out and admit that they are wrong and how they are going to fix it like yesterday.

I bet their are a lot of pissed of Mac fanatics today to consider that their beloved company would start spying on their activities. [BoingBoing]
