Off on a tangent: I actually had a different reading of his answer. The question was something like "is it true that Apple will create a Mac version of the App Store and force all developers to go through a submission/approval process before they can release their software?", and his answer was "No". If you think of it this way: if (apple.future.hasMacAppStore && macs.future.onlyAllowApprovedSoftwareFromAppStore): say "Yes" else: say "No" It only takes one of those parts to be false in order to generate a "No". They could very well create a Mac app store, but *not* force all installs to go via it (still allowing people to install things from wherever) and his answer would still be true. This is, in fact, what I'm hoping for. -- // jack // http://nuthole.com // http://learncocoa.org
