Maybe this will make Apple reconsider their entire "software development tax" revenue stream. It is abhorrent that I have to pay them $99 a year to run my own apps on my own device.

(Yes, I know you can install your own app through XCode. That runs for 7 days. Then must be re-signed. It also can't use tons of features including things like App Groups. Not acceptable.)

(Further yes, I know that if you have ever had a paid account, apparently some of the restrictions are relaxed - for example, you apparently get 90 days on your provisioning profiles. This appears to be Noblesse Oblige on the part of Apple and is not a documented policy, so I'm not willing to rely on it.)
