The situation regarding Apple's App Store for the iPhone is getting weirder by the day. Several applications have been rejected from the App Store based on seemingly dubious claims such as duplication of functionality (even though they didn't duplicate anything), or alikeness to default applications. Two such cases made headline news over the past few days; Podcaster and MailWrangler. The developers of these applications openly protested against these rejections, and apparently, Apple doesn't really like that. Apple now reiterates that rejections fall under the NDA, prohibiting developers from speaking up about rejections.

Are you under the impression that eSATA doesn't have DMA? Seriously, DMA is the only way to have high-performance data transfers on any computer architecture, which is why any bus designed for performance supports it. DMA is a security hole, definitely, but until most PCs start shipping with IOMMUs that's just something you have to live with. Physical access to a machine typically leads to all sorts of possible exploits...
