As you might recall, a
certain game was racking up credit card bills because of its
in-app purchases -- something which probably resulted in some angry parents (or as the folks in Finland say, "birds"). In
Apple's latest
iOS update, a feature has been implemented that requires the user to input their password whenever an in-app purchase is made. Will this new security measure actually prevent those children from purchasing hundreds worth of virtual fruit? A big boon for grown-ups, a big downer for those who no longer have an excuse to explain their Smurfberry obsession.
