Thanks to CSI and every action movie ever using it as a plot device,
everyone knows that cell phones make you easier to track. Between cell
tower triangulation and remote GPS pinging services, you're trackable to
the nth degree as soon as your shiny new smartphone slips into your
pocket.

But here's a twist: what if your phone not only kept a record of where
you are, but also where you've been? According to research announced
today, that's exactly what the iPhone has been doing for months.
