    You can manipulate the app by altering data. You can do this
because that data is in a separate standardized module that can be
manipulated with common standardized tools. You can do things that 
the developers didn't think of or would not approve of and the bar
for doing that is lowered considerably.

    You don't have to understand the app or it's source code or the
language it's coded in.

    I have had far more trouble with tuners and cable recievers than
I have ever had with the non-embedded mysql database.
