With the exception that Game Center is not enabled on this version as of yet.

Doubtful. That's not really making Apple any (significant) profit when you look at their overhead for that.

And giving you information on them if you're not a registered developer would involve whoever is doing it breaking a NDA.

Boy, game developers hate real languages.

I'm not sure from what standpoint, exactly, Objective C isn't a "real" language.

Well, I don't know about sustain that cost but look at the ad they demoed for Nissan's new electric car at WWDC; video, some interactivity, and oh yeah, iPhone owners get priority on the waiting list for it.

Almost everything is (potentially) linked against WebKit (At least judging by how broken my system when a rogue rogue flash plugin broke webkit.). Certainly Finder, for example. It could just get away with enforcing log off/log on again,

Yeah, there's certainly not open source apps running on OS X. Nothing of the kind. Apple certainly doesn't contribute heavily to open source projects like WebKit or LLVM either.

Per the merchant agreements, they cannot deny you the sale if you don't want to show your ID. Also, the credit card companies no longer require signatures for purchases under $20 (possibly $25?) which is why Starbucks doesn't require you

Well, that's exactly the thing... There's a vast difference between installing some library for a programming language versus an application that John Q. Enduser wants to use. As far as installing things from source that also has improved g
