Hey, you are definitely right, this is not a rant. I found this thread as I had the same issue - here's what happened with me. I bought my father-in-law an unlocked iphone 5, completely clean. He doesn't live in the US so he is using a completely separate SIM card, everything. The idea was though to set him up so he could view pictures my wife and I take. So I had to set him up with an itunes account, as well as an Email account since he doesn't have one as he's very non-tech saavy. Set up a Gmail account, and got him started. Next thing I know, a few people added me to photo streams, and he was getting the pictures!! My Apple ID never touched that phone! The only thing I can think of is that somehow, which I don't recall right now and haven't been able to check as I can't get into his itunes, is that I used my own email as a back-up address. So you are right dude. The arrogant guys at Apple have all the reason to admit to this bug, it really exists! Please, post anything more on here as it develops, and I will too
