蘋果軟件竟成出軌“神器”

Apple's Find My Friends app is designed to make it easier for friends to meet up, showing a live location on screen via GPS which your friends can watch.
　　蘋果的找朋友的軟件的設計目的是爲了讓朋友遇見，它通過朋友間能看到的衛星定位在屏幕上活靈活現的現實你所處的位置。

The idea is to make it easier to find friends on a night out, or ensure that people don't get lost on holiday.

這是爲了在晚上更容易找到外出的朋友，或者保證節假日出去玩人們不會走丟。

But one wronged New York husband claims that the app - which uses GPS to let designated friends 'see' where you are - has revealed that his wife was lying to him.

但是一位來自紐約的先生聲稱由於能用衛星定位系統看到朋友所處的位置，他甚至發現了他的妻子有外遇了。

He did, however, have to activate the app on her phone without her knowlege first. The service is 'opt in', so friends have to agree to 'watch' one another.

首先他沒有經過妻子允許就進入了這個在妻子手機中的應用程序，所以朋友不得不同意進行視頻。

The unnamed New Yorker, who posted on Mac forums, said, 'I got my wife a new 4s and loaded up Find My Friends without her knowing. She told me she was at her friends house in the east village.'

在蘋果論壇上的一位匿名的紐約人說，“我用我妻子的新的4s手機下載了找朋友這個軟件，當然她其實並不知情。她那時告訴我她在東邊的村莊的朋友家。”

'I've had suspicions about her meeting this guy who live uptown. Lo and behold, Find my Friends has her right there.'

“我一直懷疑她在和某個生活在城區中的人幽會，你看，這個軟件就告訴我她就在那裏！”

He claimed that the app showed that she was in Manhattan, not where she claimed she was.

該男子說這個軟件顯示說她妻子在曼哈頓，顯然不是之前所說的東村的朋友家。

'I just texted her asking where she was and the dumb b***h said she was on 10th Street.'

“我發短信問她到底在哪，到底和誰在一起鬼混，她說她在第十大道。”

'Thank you Apple, thank you App Store, thank you all. These beautiful treasure trove of screen shots going to play well when I meet her at the lawyer's office in a few weeks.'

“我太感謝蘋果了。這些東西在我幾周前在律師事務所見她的時候還沒有這樣好呢。”

The technology isn't new, either. Users of previous versions of Apple software could have used the Find My iPhone software in much the same way, if they had someone's MobileMe password.

其實這個技術並不是新技術了。之前蘋果的叫做找電話的軟件就和這個類似，如果別人有你的帳戶密碼，這樣做也是可以的。

Google's Latitude service offers a similar opt-in user-tracking service also. But so far, Latitude lacks the mainstream appeal of Apple products, and remains a niche technology

谷歌的緯度服務也提供了一個和這個類似的服務，但是，該項服務並沒有像蘋果的服務一樣被大衆廣爲接受，它只是個小型的技術而已。
