"The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary." ~ H.L. Mencken
The “Internet of Things”™ Makes Your Home, Life, and Data Accessible to Anyone
“... [A forensic investigator] has discovered multiple pieces of pre-loaded spyware in IOS, present because Apple put them there. Their intention is of course not known with certainty but their function has been decoded; they allow transfer, without a password, of pictures, your address book, a log of where you've been, all network traffic and more.” To the modern Total Information Awareness™ state that’s a feature, not a bug.

This article might be a little overblown. If Apple is not destroyed by these revelations and its officers not jailed, and you know that won't happen, then why get upset about it? That is the way the world is.
Although I suspect IOS is going to see a hit in sales. Not everybody is clueless about security, even if most people are.
Also the article suggests these devices will take over your wireless network and glean information from it. It is a very simple matter of a setting in the router to prevent any such thing. For one wireless device to communicate with another, it must go through the router, and the router can prevent it.
