Comment in elaboration, somewhat delayed because (all evidence to the contrary) I do sleep sometimes:
Some folks mentioned that this could be misleading, so to clarify: my research methodology, to the extent it can be called that, was a) open up the IM website, b) take a look at their advertiser partner wall (they don't have a developer partner wall, so I wasn't able to view the end-user experience directly), c) Google the first name that popped out: [babylon translation software], d) clicked the first link and downloaded, e) clicked past the first screen, which let me override my system default of Japanese such that y'all would be able to read the rest of the installer, where industry experience suggested to me that the action would be.
Sorry if I gave folks the impression that this was the InstallMonetizer application -- the impression I was trying to leave was "This is the core line of business for one of their marquis advertisers."
- sneak 14y agoIt is terrifying that it is this easy to get an intelligent and well-versed member of our community to download and execute a relatively-unknown binary, just to "see what it does". I should probably start doing more of that other kind of hacking.
