What Tap Fish/Bayview Labs exploited is that you need to turn off in App
purchases on your device- (iphone, ipod touch).  I would suspect that lots
of people who thought that they blocked purchases missed this one.  Here is
how.

Settings > General > Restrictions > In-App Purchases > OFF

Could someone with an iPad see if that setting is there on on by default as
well.
