Apple responds to Dashboard privacy concerns

You may recall not too long ago I posted about Apple's Macintosh OS X 10.4.7 phoning home to check for the latest updates. Apple has since responded to everyone freaking out. CNet has an article that quotes them as saying:

"Apple takes protecting user privacy very seriously. The Dashboard Advisory feature is a security tool that ensures that the correct version of a widget has been downloaded from a third-party site and no personal information is transmitted back to Apple"

So, yeah, Apple is just looking out for your best interests.
