Just read this in the Wall Street Journal yesterday:

Anyone else concerned? I am not one to download many apps, but this makes me apprehensive to download any.

people are dumb
they also keep supporting Apple and without realizing where that takes them just because of a few shiny products.. 5 years from now people will ask themselves "where did we go wrong with Apple" by allowing them to close shit up and blackmail you into having to buy their hardware to keep using your content..
But again.. people don't see it until it's too late and then they bitch and moan..

Its a nice article for providing the info, but in the grand scheme of things I have a hard time seeing app purchases as that great of a privacy threat.
After all, the exact same tracking process goes on for most sites you visit on the regular web. If someone is going to build a profile of you to advertise to (and companies do that for all of us, based on this info, which is of course "anonymous":), the regular internet is a much greater source of data than a few apps.
Try looking here for instance:
~/Library/Preferences/Macromedia... Player/#SharedObjects/
These are all the sites that are tracking you for various reasons. All made possible by......Flash (sorry Boz:)

Yeah I agree, the videos are like a nice balance of all the info that is being collected from thePeople® and where this info is being collected from.
To me though, it seems that there are just too many People® and the sources are way too varied/unrelated for all this info to make sense, let alone all be gathered into a single Database™ about Everyone™.
