Dode nails it - the scary part is not about silly things like what color shirts I like, it is about what the info could be used for.
And if we all just shrug and say something stupid like 'if you don't have anything to hide...' then it will surely continue to get worse. I am not some conspiracy junkie, but I don't like all of my personal info available to anyone that wants it.
For me, it is about business. I will never use Pandora because of this, for example, nor will I purchase any of the apps listed in the article. I will also expect Apple to announce a privacy policy that they enforce. So, while some companies clearly make a lot off selling this data, they've also lost me as a customer (and surely I won't be the only one).
