New Apple iPhone tracking
http://j.mp/REsedq (Business Insider)
"Users can switch off that targeting, but it's tricky, as we discovered
a couple of days ago. Although at least iOS 6 users are able to turn
off tracking, which they weren't before."

I just don't get bent out of shape by anonymous ad targeting. I
generally prefer the resulting relevant ads, and I'm willing to "pay
the piper" to keep free services free. But I do agree that any
related opt-outs should be straightforward to find and execute.
