A Closer Look At Apple Leopard Security
Last week we discussed some of the security features coming in Leopard. This article goes into more depth on OS X 10.5 security — probably as much technical detail as we're going to get until the folks who know come out from under their NDAs on Friday. The writer argues that Apple's new Time Machine automatic backup should be considered a security feature. "Overall, Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard is perhaps the most significant update in the history of Mac OS X — perhaps in the history of Apple — from a security standpoint. It marks a shift from basing Macintosh security on hard outside walls to building more resiliency and survivability into the core operating system."
Wrong, the sandboxed application WILL get a prompt for elevation. You guessed it, exactly like in Vista.
It's time to realise that Abble's products are the biggest abomination these days. Just say NO to the dumb iAbble way!!
OS X...because making UNIX friendly was easier than fixing Windows. Your sig makes no sense whatsoever. I think it should be something more along the lines of maybe 'OSX - because OS9 was a pile of crap and Apple needed a good solid foundation for a new OS.'
Your sig as it stands makes it sound like Apple would base an OS on Windows for some reason, which is obviously ridiculous, or that maybe there is a single entity producing operating systems rather than different companies with competing products.
