Doug,
It’s good someone brought this topic up, because it is a serious concern. I’ve noticed some guys got offended by it, but who cares. The danger is there, and I wouldn’t be surprised, if it already was going on. I don’t suspect any of those great devs getting on the dark side, but today’s hackers can sneak malicious code through to repos within a flash. We all know repos traffic is not being monitored 24/7, and there are many ways to get in. I don’t think those guys have enough resources to make repos safe enough, but i hope they will do their best. Little Snitch for iphone would be perfect solution…

“What if a marmot ate your testicles?

Engaging in this sort of debate is useless. For every one â€œwhat ifâ€ scenario, someone can come up with hundreds to counter it. (only a few will involve marmots)”

Wooo…… everyone is taking this post out of proportion…. It Clearly says “WHAT IF” that doesnt mean doug is talking crapo about bigboss.

So many people said “WHAT IF zibri was payed off by apple” did it turn out to be true? We don’t know….. but i mean… c’min, its the internet, anyone can just dissapear and no one can find you.

WHAT IF bigboss got payed off, would you know? Would you assume it? Well, looking from the posts on here, nobody would think of it.

An people like Mark…. deleting this blog from their RSS… WTF? Just cause some guy spoke his mind and gave everyone a question. If you didn’t like it, then just say so. Dont delete the post :S A blog is to write what you think, Doug clearly did that.

What if iPhone DevTeam was paid by the Russian Mafia to send every jailbroken iPhone’s GPS-location to a server of their choosing so they can be collected/stolen more effectively?

What if the Government was run by the freemansions?

What if the Simpsons were in fact just another method to brainwash people into a bigger tolerance towards atomic power?

Question upon question arises…

No man, I disagree with these comments. Some might want to keep their heads stuck in the sand, but for those of us who are invested in a long term stable device with developers who are trusted to develop safe apps and make quality contributions (BigBoss), thinking ahead on these issues is important. Thanks, Doug, for putting it out there. In my mind, you’ve contributed just as much as some of these developers have by bringing apps to your community in the form of thoughts, reviews and recommendations.

With that said, there are a lot of developers who could be bought or compromised, and I can see where some might get offended that BB was singled out. But even doing that is a subtle reminder that even though we may not be paying these devs for their hard work, there is still a bar of quality and safety we uphold.

Wow, that is the dumbest dribble I’ve ever read. Go away. Don’t drag Bigbosses name in the potential mud for a little attention. If you have nothing to write about, go read a book, or downloads another dozen lighter apps and review them.
