Who pays attention to that silly ol' NDA :P

Explain to me how this is "violating the NDA?" Also, please get off your high horse on this, they aren't violating any sort of NDA by reporting this info and WHY DO YOU CARE even if they were?

The SDK is publicly available to anyone who bothers to fill in a form...

dastranger: I never once said that I cared about them violating the NDA. On the contrary; I don't think Apple should have an NDA surrounding this stuff. However, there is. One that covers the entirety of the SDK program, including the stuff mentioned here and in previous posts about SDK beta releases. Get the sand out of your vagina and stop trying to put words in my mouth.

I agree, I want a mac but don't have the money, and I also want to make games for the iPhone. Does anyone think that apple is being hippocritical? - as they let windows run on the mac, and they even support it (with bootcamp) to make it easy to install windows on mac, yet they have made it illegal to run mac on windows. In my opinion, that's very hippocritical of apple. I just want to install it on a secondary hard drive of my PC legally! Oh well.

"run mac on windows"
You will never be able to run a piece of hardware on a piece of software. It always works the other way.

Why not install Mac OS on your PC? It's not hard if you know where to look... I even run it inside of Vmware under Windows.

@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.

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.
