But who protects us from Apple? We now know that Apple hasn't exactly been steadfast in protecting us from having contacts appropriated, which is much more of a security problem for some of us than having our computer trashed. Will this system be useful if we don't wanna use iCloud, or can't because of business security issues?]]> http://tidbits.com/article/12794#comments_13236 http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/TidbitsCommentsFirehose/~3/pURWL-Ssao8/12796 Mon, 20 Feb 2012 17:02:13 EST http://tidbits.com/article/12796#comments_13235 http://tidbits.com/article/12796#comments_13235 http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/TidbitsCommentsFirehose/~3/IysNvMJfTq4/12766 Sat, 18 Feb 2012 20:36:57 EST http://tidbits.com/article/12766#comments_13233 http://tidbits.com/article/12766#comments_13233 http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/TidbitsCommentsFirehose/~3/Ajumuqy4PMc/12795 Sat, 18 Feb 2012 14:12:07 EST http://tidbits.com/article/12795#comments_13232 http://tidbits.com/article/12795#comments_13232 http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/TidbitsCommentsFirehose/~3/ZgZ2ML_pa9Q/12795 Sat, 18 Feb 2012 13:32:49 EST http://tidbits.com/article/12795#comments_13231 http://tidbits.com/article/12795#comments_13231 http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/TidbitsCommentsFirehose/~3/u4i2XmgzYFM/12794 Fri, 17 Feb 2012 13:02:08 EST http://tidbits.com/article/12794#comments_13230 http://tidbits.com/article/12794#comments_13230 http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/TidbitsCommentsFirehose/~3/NX7IbA7SNZ4/12794 Fri, 17 Feb 2012 06:08:30 EST http://tidbits.com/article/12794#comments_13221 http://tidbits.com/article/12794#comments_13221 http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/TidbitsCommentsFirehose/~3/g1t0EEnQbnk/12794 Fri, 17 Feb 2012 05:20:32 EST http://tidbits.com/article/12794#comments_13229 http://tidbits.com/article/12794#comments_13229 http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/TidbitsCommentsFirehose/~3/olk9Fk05JAw/12794 Fri, 17 Feb 2012 05:19:52 EST http://tidbits.com/article/12794#comments_13228
In this case, I think it's clear that Apple is sticking with the pattern: Leopard and Snow Leopard, iPhone 3G and 3GS, iPhone 4 and 4S, leading into Lion and Mountain Lion.]]> http://tidbits.com/article/12794#comments_13228 http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/TidbitsCommentsFirehose/~3/lPh7bD2rAso/12795 Fri, 17 Feb 2012 01:17:30 EST http://tidbits.com/article/12795#comments_13227 Also don't you think if there was no AppStore, they would even bother with this GateKeeper? No!
The only (only!) reason they push it is to force developers (and users) to use their AppStore. And that was very predictable. First it hits alternative online distributors and resellers, and eventually it will hit developers - cause the monopoly is always bad. That's definitely anti-competitive behaviour and people must understand - it won't be good for them in a long term. Eventually developers won't own their apps, and Apple will own everything! They will be able to change their rules, commissions etc and there will be no alternative! That is what they want! That is so old practice! But in 1990th there were so many court cases against Microsoft! What now?

Developers should complain and protest about banning their non-signed apps by default, as it's a way to a digital slavery! It's so obvious in the USA, are you still believe in any security and good thoughts? That's a BS! That's all about money and greed! Now 30% and you cannot even mention a competing OS in your app, what next? Isn't that the dictatorship the Unites States were always fighting with? It IS! The freedom is in danger again and again!
That the same as SOPA and PIPA - it results in the same freedom loss!
Don't be so stupid to think it's about security!]]> http://tidbits.com/article/12795#comments_13227 http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/TidbitsCommentsFirehose/~3/ngtf40UbRTY/12794 Thu, 16 Feb 2012 20:01:43 EST http://tidbits.com/article/12794#comments_13222 http://tidbits.com/article/12794#comments_13222 http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/TidbitsCommentsFirehose/~3/iXiWELEQAxo/12794 Thu, 16 Feb 2012 19:01:43 EST http://tidbits.com/article/12794#comments_13220 http://tidbits.com/article/12794#comments_13220 http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/TidbitsCommentsFirehose/~3/ezoV59NQbus/12766 Thu, 16 Feb 2012 17:13:52 EST http://tidbits.com/article/12766#comments_13219 http://tidbits.com/article/12766#comments_13219 http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/TidbitsCommentsFirehose/~3/pQM16XMqNxs/12794 Thu, 16 Feb 2012 17:12:57 EST http://tidbits.com/article/12794#comments_13218 http://tidbits.com/article/12794#comments_13218 http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/TidbitsCommentsFirehose/~3/WSJqcEBjr0U/12795 Thu, 16 Feb 2012 15:40:07 EST http://tidbits.com/article/12795#comments_13216 http://tidbits.com/article/12795#comments_13216 http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/TidbitsCommentsFirehose/~3/NHusn8O-FOs/12766 Thu, 16 Feb 2012 15:15:31 EST http://tidbits.com/article/12766#comments_13215

Re: OS name. Just ask your Mac. Duh! If you go to your Mac's menu item "About This Mac", you will learn you have "Mac OS X". Then continue to the System Report/Information, click on "Software", and it will state something like "Mac OS X 10.7.3".

With that finished, now, let's compare Windows 8 and Mountain Lion.

To paraphrase Willy S., "that which we call MacOS X, by any other name would operate as sweet."
