Ça ne tient pas la route en matière de vie privée. Tu parlais de Spotlight, il est totalement anormal qu'une boutique locale soit installée de force et qu'elle se mette à vérifier tes sauvegardes.On verra avec le temps et le succès possible, si ça tient la route.
Il est anormal que si tu sauves une appli dans le but de la récupérer sur une autre machine, car c'est ton droit de changer de machine, il faille à nouveau la payer.
Il est anormal qu'il faille donner ses identifiants et sa carte de crédit (encore faut-il qu'on en aie une) pour installer un freeware. Il n'y a pas de freeware sur l'App Store.
iPapy (big brother) nous avait annoncé "Back to the Mac", c'est back aux iDevices.
On nous avait dit : "Think different!", on nous demande de ne plus penser du tout.
Cette MàJ. a comme but principal d'installer un outil marketing de manière forcée et c'est à peu près tout. Même l'amélioration de Spotlight sert à mieux nous espionner, à déclarer que telle ou telle appli un rien customisée n'est plus conforme et à la désactiver (lui remettre le statut de démo). C'est clairement dans le code de l'App Store.app
Même si on ne lance jamais l'appli, elle communique à la maison-mère dès le démarrage de la machine.
Même sur les forums de Apple des gens déclarent que Mac OS X.6.5 sera leur dernière update. Mais si on ne peut plus faire de MàJs, à quoi sert encore d'avoir un Mac ? Juste pour faire joli ?
Pour installer un autre OS, n'importe quel PC bien foutu, voire fait sur mesure (on l'attend ça sur un Mac), convient tellement mieux, avec la possibilité d'installer les lecteurs, les cartes graphiques, les connecteurs qu'on veut.
La politique de Apple devient franchement dégueulasse. Ils ont viré les lecteurs optiques dans le but qu'on aille donner ses 30% à Apple, de manière à ce qu'on ne puisse plus réinstaller une appli légalement acquise.
Bon, ceci dit, j'ai fait la MàJ. via la combo que j'ai forcé à quitter pour aller virer l'App Store.app avant de redémarrer et grâce à ça, Little Snitch n'a constaté aucune connexion indiscrète des daemons espions. Je pourrais aller les virer, mais je laisse encore histoire de voir s'ils essaieront de se connecter plus tard.
L'arrivée de cette MàJ est un jour de deuil pour les utilisateurs Mac un peu avisés. C'est juste intéressant pour les switchers qui voulaient des iPhones de plus grande taille et qui aiment se faire plumer.
Tiens, un témoignage, le premier venu :
Hmmm Let's see Leaving for a moment aside all the discussion concerning if it's possible to uninstall the Mac App Store application and how to do it safely, I don't know if this can be a good moment to summarize what the apparition of the Mac App Store in our lives implies or can imply, so everyone gets a clear picture of what this means or can mean to any Mac user.
From what I've been reading so far and provided I'm not wrong, the best all of possible scenarios is that, if I'm not happy with all this MacApp Store thing, it would be enough not to launch it : if I don't use it, it does nothing at all, doesn't scan my hard drive for apps., doesn't tell anybody what I've got installed...
Ok. Let's stick with this possibility, taking it for the real thing and let's move a little further:
I see now on MacUpdate that Telephone 1.0 -a free app, mind you- has just been released (not that I recommend it to anyone, I'm only using it as an example). However, I can't download it from MacUpdate as always, nor from the developer's site, for in both instances I come upon the following: Telephone is only available via the Mac App Store. 'Download Now' will launch the app's page in the App Store (requires the Mac App Store to be installed on your Mac).
And in both instances, if I click on the links, I'm taken to a Mac App Store Preview page, where aside of being faced by just a description of the app., I'm informed that "To download Telephone from the Mac App Store, you need a Mac with Mac OS X 10.6.6 or later".
OK, I'm still on 10.6.5, so I can't download the darned thing unless I update to 10.6.6 and run the Mac Store app But isn't this forcing everyone to update and use the Mac Store App even if they don't want to, or have I a wrong perception of reality??? Choosing not to run Mac Store App implies choosing not being able to download/update any app. that's now being sold -or simply offered for free- through the Mac App Store, and Apple's intention is to have as may developers as possible offering their apps. exclusively through the Mac App Store. Right or wrong?
And how about folks who haven't updated to 10.6? Will those who haven't done it because they feel more comfortable with 10.5 find themselves forced to do it?
And guess what? The soft and hardware requirements to run Telephone are now: PPC / Intel, Mac OS X 10.6.6. But does a PPC Mac that can run 10.6 exist or have I something wrong here??? Alright, I guess I see it: the app. doesn't require 10.6 to run but it does requiere it to be downloaded, 'cause one can only get it from the Mac App Store. Brilliant thinking!
So, how about those folks who simply cannot update to 10.6 'cause they're still using a Mac unable to run 10.6??? Must they get a new Mac and, if they can't afford it, find themselves tossed away from the Mac world even if developers care to produce universal apps.???
Keep on guessing: I access the same page from my old PPC laptop, which runs 10.5.8, and get the same page, of course. If I click on the link on how to get the Mac App Store, I stumble upon this: "Mac App Store is available as a free software update for Mac computers running 10.6 or later. If you have an earlier version of MacOS X, you will need to upgrade to MacOS X Snow Leopard". Oh, gladly! How??? Buying a new machine first?
Strangely enough, if I click on the same link when I'm on my Intel desktop Mac running 10.6.5, I'm taken to a page to download iTunes 10.1.1 (which, by the way, I already have). What the...???
And all of this in the best of all scenarios: if one doesn't want his/her hard drive scanned for apps. and any related info sent who knows where, nothing will happen if s/he simply chooses not to use and run the Mac App Store. Those concerned with the apparition and functioning of the Mac App Store act like they do just because they've got pirated soft on their machines, but it doesn't pose any problem to a fair user... or does it?
So, if I'm not wrong and this is a good summary of all that the best scenario implies, go imagine now the worst one...
Promising! :think:
