Apple ha cambiado un programa que controla otros programas, para que no controle los programas de Apple!!! El desarrollador, Adam Leventhal de Sun, lo cuenta en su blog.

A ver si dejamos de ver a los nerds en los encuentros publicos con sus macOSX riendose de los PCs con windows como si ellos fueran diferentes…

Wow. So Apple is explicitly preventing DTrace from examining or recording data for processes which don’t permit tracing. This is antithetical to the notion of systemic tracing, antithetical to the goals of DTrace, and antithetical to the spirit of open source. I’m sure this was inserted under pressure from ISVs, but that makes the pill no easier to swallow. To say that Apple has crippled DTrace on Mac OS X would be a bit alarmist, but they’ve certainly undermined its efficacy and, in doing do, unintentionally damaged some of its most basic functionality. To users of Mac OS X and of DTrace: Apple has done a service by porting DTrace, but let’s convince them to go one step further and port it properly.
