Ryan Faas; Apple Doom-Sayer
/Ryan Faas, in his continued fear-mongering:
Mountain Lion, on the other hand, gives developers a big incentive because not using code signing and not being part of the Developer ID program will likely lower sales for apps not sold through the Mac App Store. That puts Mac developers on a shorter leash and incentives membership in Appleās Mac Developer Program. It also makes it much easier for consumers to ensure the integrity of apps and security of their Macs.
It increases security, and is free for developers, but it "controls" developers as your title insinuates? What is with your hate-on for Mac security? Any user who would care if their app is signed or not (or even be aware of what that means) will know how to turn off Gatekeeper. Stop with the link-bait headlines. Seriously.
