I predict Apple will then kill us all and use our bodies for fertilizer. Then it is Gatekeeper and not nuclear weapons that will lead to the downfall of mankind. lol
if we're going down that slippery slope we may as well go the whole way right?
Nope. You are either missing the point, or simply spinning the Apple talking points.
It is in fact very likely that Gatekeeper is another step in creating an iOS walled garden on our desktops, where only apps approved by Apple will be allowed on our "stock" Macs.
And this is NOT a good thing.
I actually jumped to Android precisely because I got tired of jailbreaking my iPhones so that I can tether, or use them on TMobile (once I realized how much better/cheaper it is than AT&T).
