Is it just me or have Apple added some watermarking to the SDK download ?

Every time I download the SDK, it has another checksum (I tried 3 times)... first I thought it was a transmission error, but I doubt that.

Two times may be a coincidence, but the third time it's probably malicious intent.

Apple, at least you could tell us how you are watching our every steps and mark downloads with personally identifiable information !

Oh, and it is quite irritating not knowing whether a download is corrupt.

@Will - So Apple is hippocritical? I didn't know Apple used to criticize horses.

Explanation:
greek: ippos-> horse, hence i.e. ippos + potamos(river)= Hippopotamus

ypo-> under - upokrites: actor, someone who wears a mask --> hypocrite, hypocrisy

Ok, so I spent it wrong, I've only ever used the word hypocrite in speech, and you do know words can have different meanings, just because hypocrite can refer to an actor doesn't mean I am using that definition. I was referring to when someone 'professes beliefs or opinions that s/he does not hold'. I like all of apples products, I just think they are selling their products for a lot more than some people can afford (like me for instance). They sell Mac OS X for less than 200 pounds (I can't quite remember the full price), which would be easily affordable in order to install onto currently owned hardware, like a windows machine. Yes, I would like a mac, but I can't afford it, so I would prefer to install Mac OS X onto my windows machine, just like how you can install XP or Vista onto a Mac machine, but unfortunately it is illegal.

In summary, chris, you know I was talking about Mac OS X, Camillo, you should know what word I meant and what definition I was referring to and imode, I don want Mac OS because, as I said, I want to develop games for the iPhone and as the blog post states, the SDK is only available for the latest version of mac OS X.
