S it true that if location services is active people can steal files from any app on your machine?

Never heard that one before.

I just cut and pasted the first two on google because I read about this when it was first reported. I'm sure there are better articles, though.

I figured something like that.

I'll admit the first article irritated me. They contradicted themselves at least twice in just those few paragraphs. I didn't blame you though, just wanted to post something slightly more objective and factual. Not that I spent a lot of time looking for the best article. I can remember reading at least two better than that, but they didn't turn up on the first page of Google results either.
