iOS 8 to stymie trackers and marketers with MAC address randomization - Lee Hutchinson - ars technica

The good: MAC address randomization when looking for a WiFi sounds fantastic.

The bad: This looks like a business move, which forces companies to use iBeacon. iBeacon (or as I like to call it, iBacon) is a "location-based service that can be used to track users and issue alerts (or ads) to iOS device." Essentially, it's a business move for Apple.

I love this. Not only cause it's privacy clothing, but because I would be a hat and a staff away from looking like a wizard. On a more serious note, this is awesome because it's one step closer to feasible clothing that protects your privacy.
