I'm wondering how accurate this article is. I'm an iPhone developer, and the iTunes connect website where you monitor your download statistics has been down since the 24th for a 4 day scheduled outage. It's still down now: http://itunesconnect.apple.com/. I can't see any possible way they could know how many downloads they've had.

everyone should watch the movie idiocracy....that's where we are heading at breakneck speeds

I have to say that the security feature of the app appeals to me somehow. If I had an iPhone I might buy iFart just for that. It certainly gives new meaning to the phrase "someone ripped off my iPhone..." anyway.

If the app contacts their web servers after it gets installed or in the course of use.
