“Is Aurora Feint the iPhone’s first Spyware?”

Seriously, what the fuck is wrong with these people? Developers thinking it’s somehow okay for a game to make a local copy of the user’s address book, and uploading it to the dev’s servers without any kind of notice? Can you imagine if World of Warcraft did that?

I want to revert to firmware 1.0. This App Store thing is getting scary. You know what? That is a good reason to complain about the iPhone’s closedness: it takes hackers running ssh on jailbreaked phones to find out when a developer does something weird; very few developers would try to pull that kind of stunt on a computer, because people run hard drive monitors and packet sniffers all the time.
