Humans suck.

Still, it's cool that Apple actually did something useful for a change, even if it was inadvertent.
3 comments in, and someone who knows nothing about apple, or the entire technology industry posts uninformed apple hate. Like pressing on-screen buttons, or do you prefer command line... Heh he he. Seriously though, some people like having only one font, and having to go to record stores to buy music...

Nice invasion of her of privacy? Isn't that sort of thing a legal offence in the USA? (I'm not saying cheating is right either.)
No, it's legally his phone, and if she carries it around he is just tracking his property. Invasion of privacy would be me checking where she is.

Sad to hear about that kind of thing.

Still, it's none of my business so who am I to point fingers at either of them.

I like how people are saying that ThomasMetz invaded his wife's privacy when he installed that app on her iPhone 4S when...

a) He bought the phone.
and b) They're married.

When you get married, you're (supposed to be) entering an intimate, long-term relationship with your partner (who you've probably known for quite some time already). That means you have basically agreed to a life of no privacy from your partner. You live together, you sleep together, you eat together, you die together. What the fuck do you have to hide?

How can people flock to the defense of a woman who was cheating on her husband? Some of you are even justifying her behavior by his reaction to said behavior, which is no different than when a guy justifies cheating on his girl because she totally flipped out after she discovered the infidelity.

"You spied on me and found out I was fucking your best friend?! That's just the sort of behavior that would lead me to fuck your best friend!"

ITT: whores defending their cheating ways, and attacking the new ways for them to get caught on stupid grounds and retarded over-reactions, its disgusting

as if there arent atleast 4 other ways he could have REALLY broken her privacy to find out

atleast this only relies on public information(anyone who feels the need to hide where they are from their spouse is up to no good, barring them being CIA or spies or married to jealous controlling bitches or assassins(like the movie crank) or something)

he could have hired a PI, stalked her, installed a keylogger on her comp/laptop, hacked her facebook, etc. all of those are rediculous violations of trust and privacy, those would be bad, but your location? thats public information unless you ARE up to no good

its unbelievable, how bad people are at hiding their true meanings though... if your going to defend cheating and complain about new ways for you to get caught, just admit it, dont claim that violating the privacy of someone by REVEALING PUBLIC INFORMATION THEY LIED ABOUT is just as bad as or worse than BREAKING YOUR GOD DAMN MARRIAGE VOWS, no one is so stupid as to believe that, and dont get married if you value your vows so little that an obscure misdemeaner that hurts no one, that applies to this when it shouldnt, is more important than them

I am not a privacy freak, and neither was my family. Everyone knows where everyone is, because why wouldn't you? Only if you have something to hide.

Props to this guy for having the balls to face all the people who are going to call him a dirty stalker, so that he can ditch his unhappy cheating wife and go have a better life for himself. In the end, you can say he should trust her all you want, but she was violating *his* trust, and when someone is a liar, if you continue to trust them, you'll just get screwed over again and again, because they clearly don't give a crap about the integrity of the relationship. You can't be naive. You have to act.

Good job, Thomas, and good job, Apple.

The important thing to remember is that when you live with somebody long enough you get to understand there tendencies and behavior. With that said when your spouse is having a change in behavior that it becomes very noticeable but you don't know what is causing this change then it can definitely throw up some flags.

Its a betrayal of trust to spy on them and that is a bit of a dick move but any rational person would try to figure out whats going on when your being left in the dark about the changes in your spouse's life. If he had enough suspicion that she was cheating then he would of found out another way (driving to the friend's house being the most likely).

Cheating and lying are FAR FAR FAR worse than checking the GPS on your spouse's phone.

The fact that someone turned out to be guilty should not in any way be taken as a justification for such unethical behavior.

Long story short: I wouldn't want to be married to this guy anyway.

I wonder what people would be saying if ThomasMetz was a woman who caught her husband having an affair...

Wait, no I don't. I know exactly what they would be saying.

Anyone who is upset about the whole "spying" angle who has never checked the story of a loved one, including for stupid stuff like chores and bills and the like, who has never once returned for an item they "forgot" to see if he's back playing that video game again as soon as you're out the door or talked to a friend about what the golf score really was, who's never taken a look at social/gaming media to figure out what they're doing when you don't feel like asking, or who's never flat out called someone out on their lie raise your hand. Yeah. Thought so.

People lie. People lie a LOT, for all sorts of reasons. About whether they really think you look fat, or whether that T-shirt you love makes you look stupid. About whether they're really happy today, or whether they can stand their inlaws. About how many beers they had last night, or how many video games they play. And sure, nine times out of ten everyone knows it's a lie, and just goes on from there... but to say that you trust people implicitly and would never check about anything is kind of insane.

Trusting people not to hurt you, not to cheat on you, that's different. There's lying to avoid an argument and then there's ripping your heart out, and if you can't do that the love's probably over. But not verifying something you think is fishy is just plain stupid, it doesn't make you morally superior.

As for legality? Well, I'm not sure how all this will play out for him. But laws aren't always right, and they don't always serve their intended purpose. The guy should be fine, legally... heaven knows he's got enough to deal with right now.

The wife's in the wrong for cheating obviously, but invasion of privacy? Not going to help you if she's got a decent lawyer man.

I'm going to say that both people make bad decisions, both legally and morally. There are other, more legal ways of determining if someone is cheating on you. A private investigator, for example.

I'm not going to get into the 'who was more wrong' debate, mostly because I think that it's largely just a petty form of justification for either party's loose morals.
