I think all data tracking companies are evil, what of it? It is a fact of life that we have to deal with it. I'm fully aware of how much is stored in little bits and bytes about all aspects of my life, I'd otherwise expect to be private - I can call these guys evil!

If that was the case, there'd be a blank slate out there.

The iPhone and Android are pretty similar in this regard with the apps doing a lot of behind the scenes data gathering .... BB was cleaner, but is no longer sufficient (unfortunately) for my needs.
If you have an answer to my question about changing the email associated with the shopping cart, I'd appreciate it! Thanks!
