You have to be able to do this - I have seen applications do it - you just
have to type in your root password when you start the application.

LOL, thanks for the light entertainment :)



Basically like game trainers you see everywhere on windows - but I don't

And people say Macs are only more secure because of their lower market share....

Prior to the release of Leopard it was trivial to manipulate another process's memory space as long as the processes were owned by the same user. Now the user has to authorize against a specific right, run as root, or the application trying to accomplish this has to be signed in order for it to work. Aside from that, tho, the actual application or reading/writing another process's memory space is still pretty trivial using mach calls.
