Sure, that TIFF-image security hole was patched, but it was more of a headache for third-party iPhone developers than anything else. Or was it? One iPhone hacker noticed that the last iPhone update contained some interesting code hidden within. These code strings seem to indicate (and confirm previous rumors) that Apple is cooking up some sort of online-based (most likely iTunes-based) rental scheme. Here’s the code-of-interest from the “lockdownd” file: <em >pumpkin:~ pumpkin$ strings /usr/local/share/iphone-filesystem/usr/libexec/lockdownd grep -i rental trigger_rental_bag_verification: Could not retrieve FairPlayID trigger_rental_bag_verification: Could not initialize FairPlay context trigger_rental_bag_verification: Could not verify the rental bag response: %d load_rental_bag_request: Could not retrieve FairPlayID load_rental_bag_request: Could not initialize FairPlay context load_rental_bag_request: Could not generate rental bag request load_rental_bag_request: Could not create mutable dictionary load_rental_bag_request: Could not create CFData from request message load_rental_bag_request: Could not create CFArray load_rental_bag_request: Could not create CFNumber from indice RentalBagResponse RentalBagRequest pumpkin:~ pumpkin$</em> Is Apple planning on launching a movie-rental section for the iTunes Store? We’d pay maybe a buck, or two, to rent a movie for our iPhones, and slightly more for a full-fledged (higher-resolution) version. Anything more expensive than that, and you can bet we’ll be keeping our online movie rental subscription.
