Apple prepares to enable sideloading and App Store changes in EU
Alex_V said:rob53 said:Good luck Europe. Prepare to be controlled by your government requiring loading of government-sponsored malware tracking your every movement without any need for a warrant. The first third-party app storefront will be controlled by your local police force, requiring every citizen to load government specific software. In many cases you won't even know they're loading monitoring software, you'll be required to load a government app that includes voter ID, driver's license, etc. Everything in one app will be presented as software everyone needs for taxes and every other government process. Guess what's going to also be loaded in the background .... yep, monitoring software so they know where you're at and what you're doing. Have fun!!
Stop trolling. Just because a system is not baby-proof does not make it insecure. iOS WAS baby-proof, by formerly only having one way to get apps on it - through the gatekeeper App Store. You were forced into Apple's sanitized experience. I personally like that experience (security by default), which is why I use Apple. But there's no reason at all to not allow people who want to take off the training wheels to do so should they choose.
People complain that Windows is insecure. But if that were true, every windows machine would be hacked, and everyone would have switched to Mac ages ago. The truth is Windows is not insecure, so long as you know what you are doing (install virus/spyware protection, don't download from insecure websites, etc.) Again, I would rather not bother with all that crap, so I use a Mac. But if people want the Windows environment and all that entails, god bless them. (Just don't cry to me when you get hacked, lol.)
