> At least on paper, Apple does seem to be doing better on privacy. They are private by default Except the fact that they get informed every time you run any software on your Mac, and they even used to send that over HTTP, in the clear (I'm hoping it's changed). The reported purpose is to check software signatures live, for security or something. I personally think code signing isn't of a huge benefit for the user, and there is no need for live checks (instead of cache or Certificate Revocation Lists) to be performed. The only reason i can think for Apple to implement it this way is to collect data on what you do with your device ostensibly for "security", but it might just be a negative way of looking at things.
