Try doing this with gatekeeper enabled. If it works at all, it will be for a limited time only until apple revoke the cert, and go after the developer who the cert was issued to.
Which is where gatekeeper comes in. If gatekeeper is enabled this will either warn that this is unsigned code, or outright prevent it from running unless the user bypasses it manually. I.e., if you run a current OS (even back to 10.7.4) - you are, by default, protected from this.
Furthermore, even if you don't use the blacklisting, both Lion (Pretty sure, since 10.7.4) and Mountain Lion both have gatekeeper. Which if enabled or left enabled will warn that this software is not signed.
Sure, if you have this option turned off then you can run and install it like any other software. But if you've turned that option off, it is expected that you know what you are doing.
Make it easy for me to buy (either in store availability guaranteed, or digital download - the latter is a lot easier to achieve) and PRICE APPROPRIATELY.
If you still have piracy, they were never going to be customers anyway (i.e., if it was too hard they wouldn't have purchased), but may encourage others to buy, by getting you free publicity.
Icon layouts are crap. Either use siri, or flick to spotlight, type the first 2 letters of the application name and pick it. Easier than sorting through folders or screens of icons.
There's a difference between some guy pointing a phone/camera at you, and someone just looking at you. And it's not the ads I'm concerned about. It's about layar or other VR style real-time tagging, linking your likeness to say, facebook profile, G+ profile, check in history, etc.
Just being able to look at someone and potentially have all the stalking info available on your HUD for when they leave the bar inebriated is a disaster waiting to happen.
I'm talking real world - top gear tested it, various other motoring mags have tested them. In the real world, they get as good or better mpg than a prius. The green-ness is even more apparent when you take into account how toxic batteries are to make and dispose of.
I have the absolute natural right to videotape anything my eye can behold
Citation needed. Also, you likely do NOT have the absolute natural right to pay for your own services using my likeness. Which, effectively, is what you are doing by trading data (images of me) for services provided by Google.
Legality has nothing to do it. Sometimes laws are broken: see DMCA, patent law, etc. And sometimes assholes need a good kicking. And filming someone without their consent is being an asshole. Irrespective of legality or what the government does to you - they're assholes too.
Agreed. Things have gone too far. Especially with regards to places like a bar, where people want to get drunk, forget their worries and have a good time. Not worry that they'll have their entire night recorded and posted on the internet, or be recognised/profiled by someone on the fly whilst in a compromising situation, via surveillance tech.
And yes, for all the bitching about privacy with regards to cookie blocking, ad-network tracking, etc. you'd think that the/. crowd would be up in arms. But it's google, they can do no wrong. And its a flashy new toy. So anyone who opposes it must be shunned as a luddite.
What you want at the moment is a VW Golf TDi. Same or better MPG as a Prius, goes like stink (considering what it is), no battery to worry about and it's a nicer car inside and to drive. However, just a week ago or so, some guys claimed a breakthrough with graphene for use as batteries. Which could make hybrids or even full electric cars actually viable.
Ferrari now get to slap a green "hybrid vehicle" sticker on la Ferrari, even though it likely gets about 10 mpg. It's not REALLY in the spirit of it, is it.
.... did they hold the competition at the same time as pwn2own to ensure that the people who may be able to break it were otherwise engaged at a different event?
Slashdot Mirror
You mean like the huge number of users still running Firefox 3.5, despite there being many security updates it doesn't have?
Most of the network engineers, storage engineers I know run Mac Laptops. Linus himself owns apple machines. Try again.

You also forgot - bypass gatekeeper or click through the "are you sure, this is unsigned code?" warning.

I've owned 3 macs with all versions of the OS since leopard and have never seen the behaviour you describe.

recording with a smartphone is a lot more conspicuous than just looking at someone.

I await the space equivalent of whatever the title of that travesty of an imitation Indiana jones movie was that I wasted $15 on to see in the cinema.
You do understand Google's entire business model, yes? Essentially "you give us your data, we mine it and target ads at you".
Sure, it's the metric by which Windows is judged when people point out how insecure it is.
But... OK lets go by how many zero days were exploited in the wild in the last 30 days.
It's still more than IE, Safari, Chrome and Firefox in the same time frame.
Well it's been about 15+ years of EA releasing garbage so far and they haven't died yet.
