Apple

This was an interesting read. Apple "tweaks" their port of DTrace to prevent people from debugging iTunes, and the ilk.

I can only imagine it's to prevent people from grabbing unencrypted data from DRM'd music from memory? What's even the point of that, practically, Fair Play is long since broken. It's not like everyday Joe's are tracing through running code so they can make an illicit copy of some iTunes song, and it's not like developers wouldn't know a better way. At the end of the day, the tool doesn't work. Go Team Venture.

I think Apple just really hates programmers.
