COMPUTER CONSPIRACY: Apple Computer Becomes Big Brother | |

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 31076543  Netherlands09/25/2014 01:29 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I loved apple computers. Quoting: Bob Been a big fan for a long time. I even have given them a whole lot of slack for the past few years since Steve Jobs died. Now, they have crossed the line. With the new update to Mavericks, their latest OS, they have removed the option from Gatekeeper to allows you to use any program that is not from Apple. Oh, yeah, there's a way for developers to flag their stuff so it reads from Apple computers, but if the developer don't flag it, it don't work. What does this mean? Lets say you have a game you've been running for years. You bought it back in 2007. The company went out of business. It's now void. Oh, did I mention if you had Auto update hooked up it happened automatically and just went through and cleans up your hard drive for you? Hope you been keep backups by some means OTHER then Apple's Time Machine. Guess how through the program is about rooting out "viruses and Malware"? Why are they doing this? The stated reason is to "better protect you" and "for your convenience." The real reason is to have gatekeeper search your hard drive for pirated software, disable anything it "thinks" you didn't pay for, then force you to buy everything through the apple store. Or at the very least, make it very difficult to do so. They have officially made it so you can't use anyone but them from now on. Unless you are very knowledgable about programs, you simply will not be able to get around the Gatekeeper. I don't say this very often, but I'm going to say it now. A bunch of goose stepping Nazis have taken over Apple. Apple has officially crossed the line to Big Brother. I am never updating my computer again. As soon as it dies, I am buying PC. I will never buy an iPhone (especially since it's maping program doesn't work) Apple has been coasting for the past few years. They came out with the iWatch. Apply has failed. They are Evil and the place should be burned to the ground in memory of Steve Jobs. He is spinning in his grave. If we hooked him up to a crank shaft, we could power the Eastern Sea-board. From this point on, Apple is dead to me. Apple was always for simple-minded computer illterates. |

There's a security speed-bump when software comes from an unknown developer. Even that can be adjusted and/or turned off. I think you got some bad Apple FUD. |

The point is Apple products can't be to complicated when you see the type of people who buy apple products.They look almost zombie-like and some of them don't even know why their buying the product. |

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 56351749 United States09/25/2014 05:06 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The first and only piece of software I ever bought was OS/2 Warp 4 at best buy in 1998ish. Apple tells everyone that they have secured the apple iproducts with some unbreakable encryption, but its not open source and cant be verified. All of the closed source software is backdoor'd just run a packet sniffer or netstat -d and you will see all of the shit going on in the background, hidden on ominous bullshit software that found its way on to your pc. I use windows 7 to work and browse the web, and I use linux to do all of my sensitive shit like bills and purchases. So yeah, fuck em I dont plan on buying anything from them, never have never will. Besides, when they come out with a new version I consider that product abandonment, its free game to me. Let some other sucker pay for the new shiny shit. |

PS, Don't quote a wall of text then have only one line. There's a reason nobody cares about your frozen country. If you we're as awesome as you say you are, you first would realize that a Mac is also an "IBM Clone" seeing as how they use intel x86 hardware, and have been for almost a decade. Secondly you would have spelled programmed correctly. Especially seeing as how code is case sensitive. So I'm going to go ahead and call  Also anytime they add any kind of DRM, people crack it within a couple days and it's pointless. Oh and Steve Jobs was nothing more than the Billy Mays of computers. He wasn't that smart, just charismatic, when he needed to be. TLDR, Big fucking deal. Even the worst version of windows, Vista, has more users than the current version of OSX. XP by far dwarfs them all. |

Which makes them much more usable for the technically minded. Yes, Macs are created upon BSD which is a ton better than Windows... But delete windows and install Linux. So with that in mind. Fuck you too. |

They have been registering patents for all kinds of ominous shit, and they lie lie lie to their users and say they are making things simple and accessible when really they have been locking the user out.. Essentially saying the hardware you BOUGHT is not your own and it is their software that has priority. They have patented hardward kill swithces, they have patented cameras that hide behind the display itself and cannot be covered up so are always on. They are the NSA. No Shit, Apple. Fuck! It's dangerous to go alone, take this. (Hands you generic open source tech) |
