Would having a sandboxed app store help with any of these? The point I think he's making is that a curated app store isn't going to be a significant malware source.
- runjake 14y agoI don't think that was his whole point. He's speaking in much broader terms in his first paragraph, which is what I quoted. He does make mention of reputation and the app store specifically in the second paragraph.
- jopt 14y agoI agree. It's a better point, but it's not the one he made, and it doesn't support the one he made. Shifting the goalposts seems to have become so ingrained in how we debate that we now do it on the behalf of others.
- ricardobeat 14y agoMountain Lion already prevents those, by default it won't let you install anything unsigned.
- batista 14y ago>Would having a sandboxed app store help with any of these? A sandboxed app can only write/damage it's sandbox. That's kind of the whole point.
