I'm guessing you might have only read the summary on Slashdot - what you suggest is, sadly, exactly what they're planning:

Under the new approach, though, Apple will still require developers to pay “associated fees” to use the NFC chip and enter into a “commercial agreement,” according to Wednesday’s statement.

This under the guise of "security and privacy standards" - absolutely nothing to do with siphoning in more money, of course.

In this case, it's more like "Share your keys, share your crypto".

Clearly this theft happened because of bad programming/configuration (which is just another form of programming), which means you're SOL if something happened that didn't favor you because of this - ie. "Code is law".

So, what happened to that ethos?

...I ain't touching this even with a 100-foot stick.

More like "be yOuR o\/\/n BrE4Ch"

"Rich while asshole gets richer."

'nuff said.

New on Slashdot: stupid troll uses own post as example of what it is to be a 'fucking moron' and '[lame] fucking trolling'. Film at 11.

Truer words were never spoken.

A sad state of affairs indeed.

Indeed!

You mad bro?

Oh, and thanks for proving my earlier point about how y'all fanboys are so easily triggered. It's almost.... too easy.

And they'll counter their blatant hypocrisy by claiming they're doing this because courage!

And the Apple fanboys will still eat it up.

... because courage!

Indeed!
