Maybe Ubisoft is going to start selling cheap DRM-free games one day, and is deliberately losing money right now to build up a customer base that will make them bigger than Apple the day that they switch.
I don't get why people who normally hate DRM see Steam as acceptable. It's no better than any other DRM system IMO, it just has a bigger selection. A lot of steam games have SecuROM and other shit on top of the Steam DRM too.
Nah don't worry, they'll report themselves, out of the goodness of their hearts. Or you could trust private auditing companies like E&Y and KPMG which never miss such things.
Well first, they'd been bragging about being able to access the FBI's communications for some time, apparently.
And second, you can't exactly keep Anonymous exploits secret. That's why when an operation requires secrecy they split off little private groups like LulzSec.
I can't find any references to this before January 2012, although maybe the recent news flare-up has drowned the older stuff out. Here's a Snopes thread on it, nobody's calling it a hoax and these guys know their hoaxes:
That is not something that Android does. That is something that your shithole cell phone provider orders the handset maker to add.
And the end result is what?
Is it spreading FUD to tell it like it is? Seems more honest than describing a situation that, today AFAIK exists only in theory. It's the Tivo all over again but this time the geeks are on the wrong side.
I chose Maemo over Android too, unfortunately we're a small minority even among geeks, I think I'm going to try to hack Maemo or some other GNU/Linux distro onto a Droid 4 for my next phone.
I made all kinds of assumptions about the way that these app stores are run in the early days. That they'd not only scan for malware but even inspect the source.
But no, turns out that with both Android and iOS, you get the freedom of a walled garden with the safety of a sketchy warez site.
If you have enough cash you could put this thing on a Darwin-OP...
BUT if this thing is more than a fancy web spider with some other bits tacked on, and you have indeed matched or exceeded the intelligence of a rat, then you're hiding an amazing discovery from the world.

Had the same problem when some Tron: Evolution saves got corrupted, luckily I had just started (and the game is pretty damn short anyways).
I still can't imagine why they encrypted the saves. Why why why.

Hey, I can dream...
No, it's like intentionally climbing into a lifeboat and then realizing that someone took a shit under one of the seats.

Maybe there's DRM on the DRM servers that makes moving the data across impossible? :-P
Haha +1 for this!
Technically a URL hack is a hack, even if they're blindingly obvious sometimes.

Besides, anyone who would hit so close to the enemy through a traceable connection is a moron.

Well forgive me for being a day or two behind on the bleeding-edge development news.
That is not something that Android does.
That is something that your shithole cell phone provider orders the handset maker to add.
And the end result is what?

Good luck tethering like that.
Yeah, once you jai - sorry, root the device.
At this point they're completely incompatible with each other, so I'd say they're roughly as distant as the Linux and BSD kernels.
There's nothing liberal or progressive about curated computing, it's a fascist concept.
There's nothing GNU about Android. The kernel is a distant relative of the Linux kernel but that's as far as the relationship goes.

I don't think they'd be remotely safe until the equipment is built in-state with components made in-state from materials mined in-state.
