@john.b : don't forget to cut it off the Internet, shut it down, remove the CPU and melt it in a fire. You never know.
Reminder to anyone with a brain: Java is a great language, that still represents a threat to Microsoft's .Net (you know, that huge reason why the Mac doesn't make it much to the Enterprise World). Java also means portability, which makes it a threat to Apple's AppStore.
I don't want a world where Apple prevents the base user from installing whatever it wants and you can't run whatever you decide to run (right now, you actually need to command click before you run "external party" software!)
Apple's behaving (in the interest of the user, yeah right, IE6 powers the average user to the Interwebs, in other news) in a very scary way, and it's our call to tell them that the boundary lies here. I want more Macs. I do'nt want Macs that are limited computers, I have iPads for that purpose.

The market thinks otherwise.

You're in for the same surprise I got when you try to start Photoshop.
