In iOS, if a third-party app requires permission to access your location data with the intention of enhancing user experience, you're met with a popup window, and have the option to allow access, or simply block the app from knowing of your whereabouts.
Regardless of whether you love or hate Apple, admire or resent them, or in just plain terms; plain don't care about the company, no-one can deny that they consistently churn out beautiful products. The design ethos isn't all about the product itself though, if you ever take the time to review the packaging that your new iPhone, Apple TV or iPod Shuffle comes in, you'll notice that it is just 'right'.

If the sources are correct, then that will put it pretty much exactly a year since the current iPad 2 model was announced.
We are just a few weeks away from the strongly-rumored iPad 3 event and, as suspected, the number of reports and “leaks” is increasing quite rapidly. Today, we received news of an iPad 3 parts and components leak which, if correct, reveal interesting information about the hotly anticipated device. Details after the jump!
It's that time of year again, and the 54th annual GRAMMY awards are taking place tonight, with the pre-show kicking off in the afternoon. If you're into your awards shows then you'll no doubt be wanting to tune in!
