Steve Jobs must've thought Mac OS X Lion was a good parting prank. It's my first experience developing directly on the platform and they sent me a nice full-loaded MacBook Pro for free. Nice, right? Except Lion's new auto-save and revisions API makes it bloody near impossible to secure document shares with the existing toolchain.
So now I've basically developed a sandboxed system to run inside of VMWare Fusion with a secured drop-box for interaction with the rest of the system. This is a huge pain to get around Nanny State APIs. *sigh*
And general operating system security under the Mac is bizarre and terrifying. Permissions set and reset in bizarre ways, even as part of the "repair permissions" tools. Strange use of the two firewalls (or blatant mis-use of ipfw). The total lack of a proper ASLR regardless of what Apple PR wants to say is pathetic. I find it remarkable nobody has just decided to own every bloody Mac on the planet. The plethora of "discovery" services running by default and their poor configurations is like applying duct tape to swiss cheese and then expecting it to live through a microwave.

I'm sorry, but...........WHAT?
This is why I'm not upgrading. I wait for all the idoits who have to "have it first" to report all the issues, let someone "fix" it, then fix it again, before I do it. Glad you got yours for free. You know you can just download the last snow leopard and use that on the new book?
Magnus good to see you I missed your witty posts
how have you been?
