Thanks, that answers my question. I wasn't sure what you meant by "quarantine". It sounded like you were talking about removing or blocking apps after they were downloaded (aka quarantining them).

No, it doesn't mean I endorse the entire statement. My only point was that the report said it had no numbers for iOS mostly because Apple doesn't share such information.
Which was a bit wimpy on their part, as other sources such as the App Genome Project have previously noted that iOS apps were more likely (until recent updates) to grab and share our contact info with third parties for money.

But, before you do that, there are a lot of other things you need to talk about, like the browser engine you created with your bare hands and your decades of multi-touch development, and, oh, I can't remember the other thing, but maybe someone else can.
Actually I think I commented that I did two browsers from scratch. One was for an embedded 68030 control system, the other for a prototype interactive settop box in the mid 1990s when I was head of a major STB R&D lab. Of course, it was easier to write one back then.
I started with HTML when there was less than 1000 websites on the entire planet. We often had to use a text based browser like Lynx because we were on green screen terminals. Our company (Stuart Entertainment) was one of the first to have a web page.
I've been lucky to be involved in a lot of seminal projects in my life. Some were pretty well known back in the early days of home computing, and so was I, in some circles. In fact, once in a while a person reading the forum figures out who I am and emails me. But that's not important. I'm just here to share my knowledge.
This is a forum. We only know what we know about people from what they post. My background and knowledge are clearly demonstrated in my posts about history, patents, trademarks and how devices work.
As for your posts, it seems that you rarely add anything to a conversation except personal attacks. Why don't you tell us what you've ever done, instead of just insulting others? Thanks.
