actually - what I was pointing out is that Apple is doing all of this 
security on applications which are (supposedly) 'safe', as in they have 
been signed, presumably by Apple itself.

What are they doing to apps that are not signed?

ANd is this the next step in forcing all applications t use the "app 
store" and the forced end of most "free form" programming?  (4D 
databases would fall into this category)
