Apple locking down the OS

[Kuron]

This is a bit sooner than I expected, but it was inevitable:

Sooner than "you expected". What a joke. So, I guess this is going to be a problem for you? And you've created... what? For what platform? Any platform at all, please post a link. Or stop posting to programming forums when you can't come up with the goods. Anybody can surf the web and post stuff they find to forums trying to make themselves look like a player. But no code will be forthcoming, as is already known. Some people have no shame at all, what a sick world we are coming into.

Yeah, this is actually a good thing. And it does offer 3 different options for the users to run apps. One option is to only run App Store apps, two is to run App Store apps that are signed by the developer and last is to run apps that are signed by developers. And by signed, you now have a Developer ID you have to sign your app with. This is something I still need to do but just haven't read through all of it yet. I'm sure it's no different then already signing your app the current way.

That's because you actually write programs. Thanks for that. The poster you're replying to doesn't, and couldn't if his life depended on it. Just search, under 'Kuron' or 'Brice Manuel' and see what you find. -epic fail- -retard- etc, etc, etc.

Everyone else is reading it, genius. Post some code that will impress somebody or shut the fuck up asshole. You don't belong here or anywhere programmers gather. You're an idiot who can't accept the fact that he can't cut it. Come on, post some code. Let's see it. Can you come up with the goods or not? Sparkie, srod, C4S, kenmo, netmaestro, RASHAD, Danilo, ABBKlaus, the list goes on and on. Hundreds if not thousands of lines of code to evaluate, critique, learn from or judge inadequate. Where is yours? ...Where? Never mind, I know where. Nowhere because all you've done on these forums is blame Fred and the other devs of PB for your inability to grasp even the simplest of logic. No code = no programmer. Do everyone here a favor and just shut up.

At least Apple is not preventing unregistered software from being used, they are just preventing it by default. I do know in the past some PBers were worried about this happening. I think this is a very good thing, as I have said before (and got blasted for). With MS moving a similar way for the ARM version of Windows 8, this is something you will have to deal with no matter what.
