736 iPhone apps on TPB to be precise - actually much lower than I would have thought, although some of the torrents are hack tools and packs of apps (one such torrent is 3.6GB and includes a few 100 separate apps).
Perhaps the only platform right now that hasn't been cracked to enable piracy is the Sony PS3 due to the extensive hardware enforcement (right down to an isolated SPU inside the cell processor) - and that's coming apart as we speak. Yours truly even has been hard at work trying to get custom code to run in fear of my older fat PS3 breaking down and needing to be replaced with the slim (which lacks linux support). Oh, and when I say piracy hasn't happened on the PS3 yet, i'm only talking about retail bluray discs, lots of games from the playstation store have been downloaded without payment by various people. Something personally I object to since it does cost Sony money to provide the bandwidth, but there we go....... Once the PS3 is broken, there'll be no current platform that is not "piracy enabled". And you have to consider as well that a PC (such as what SL runs on) running a general-purpose OS is designed to give the user vastly more control than any games console or mobile phone. DRM is an uphill struggle even where you can control the hardware. On Tue, Mar 16, 2010 at 9:05 AM, Anders Arnholm <and...@arnholm.se> wrote: > Kevin Woolley wrote: >> c.
