Hello folks. Let's go back in time for a minute to...wait, was it only yesterday? Apple's Mac App Store recently opened its "doors" for business:

Fast-forward to...wait let me check this again. Yep, it's correct. Fast forward to later that same day, and the people who cracked the DRM on iOS have already cracked the new software, allowing for piracy of anything in the store.

However, they're not releasing it until February, claiming that they're waiting on crappy software to emerge first. Apparently the idea is to allow a "try before you buy" situation to see if what you're buying is worth it, and their reasoning is that they won't have any sub-standard software available at launch. Because this software will totally be used for evaluating programs...
Thoughts on this?
