UDID is a few years old is it not? It's surprising it took people this long to figure this out.

Yeah and there was an outcry over that, and nobody saying "Good decision." As Microsoft learned in the '90s, when you're on top nobody's going to do anything but rip on you.

No more so than, say, a MAC address. The problem wasn't UDID, it's what people were doing with it.
