I think the point is that you will always have to approve installation manually. Let's face it. There is a trade-off between security and convenience.

I remember when Intel Atom based computers were being touted, at least I heard them explained that way, as THE NEXT REVOLUTION IN THE PERSONAL COMPUTER *TA-DAH!* And now those unicycle driven things aren't to be seen.
I'm not happy thinking that they will tell all of us to use computers with a gerbil running on a treadmill to power it.
The idea of 'platform uniformity' seems to have died with Windows 10 coming after the disastrous Windows 8x excursion to crazytown. Using mobile processors on the desktop is another daft idea that possibly explains the lack of an update to the MacPro.
I certainly hope you can control which types of files get uploaded to free up space. For example, just because I don't use a font regularly or haven't for awhile means I want it off my system. I really don't want to open up a file and have to wait for a font to be installed - and I also like having all my fonts available because you never know when you might use that rare one.
Yes, the whole idea of 'near real time access' is great when you have time to wait for the file to be downloaded to use it, but in practice, it's crap for people that use a lot of documents on a seasonal, or occasional basis.
There had damn well be a way to shut that 'feature' off for people that don't want to use it, and there had better be more levels of extortion from Apple for their iCloud fantastic-ness that they are desperately trying to force people to use.
Given their repeated outages with their other 'cloud based' services, I'm really chomping at the bit to have my bits spun off to the other end of an internet connection that can't deliver 100% 100% of the time.
And spinning ebooks you have read to cloud storage seems like it's from the 'you read that book, toss it' camp. I am a digital horder. I LOVE ebooks. They take up a lot less shelf space, don't decompose over time, and I am perhaps an oddity as I do re-read great books I've read from time to time. Like I watch 'old movies' too. Dune, Fifth Element (which is why I will NOT do NetFlix), and the Star Wars original movies, among others. (Which by the way, are they going to spin music off that you haven't listened to in a while? Who decides what 'a while' is?)
Apple seems to be charting a voyage to a destination I can't see wanting to go to. Either that, or I really am an old fossil...
I don't see why they wouldn't. Also, if they say 'optimised' for SSD, it doesn't mean that it will be slow on HDD.
yeah I don't want any of my stuff automatically stored in the cloud. My iCloud gives me warnings that it is getting full already and all I have on there is device backups. I am not paying for more storage
I'd like this more than once if I could
Agree with everything.There's no guarantee that any service will still exist in the future and/or that the rights negotiated will be in perpetuity. I'd rather not have content I paid for under the assumption I would "own" it suddenly becomes null and void and disappears from my library.
If they don't put the unsigned apps setting back in the official release, my 12 years of mac use is coming to an end.
But imagine the possibilities of the photos exchange with other users.
We matched your DSCN298.jpg from the album "Private party" with DSCN298.jpg from Kate in NY, from the album "Private party".
It's a new social network
Yeah, it's probably you. At least if you base your entire comment on what you heard in the keynote.

I hope for your sake that you're being ironic. If you really think they would implement it like that, I don't know what to tell you
Probably because a new file system is not really headline grabbing material. Frankly, it might even scare off consumers and investors alike. Apple Pay on the web, opening up with SDK's and iMessage apps, is a lot more palatable. But yes, this has potential to make the iPad into a highly productive tablet.
Well at this point it's then not really useful - even for developers to test. You can format an external drive with it, copy your useless files there and then what ... ? Currently you can't even test snapshots. Basically so far it's... Meh... Wake me when you can actually test something useful on apfs
I would assume (someone can correct me if I'm wrong) that a RAID virtual disk was still recognized by OS X, but you couldn't manage the RAID array in El Cap.
Was there some big, horrible transition to NTFS that I missed? It doesn't really matter that much.
Still waiting to download for my VMs for testing. My downloads cutoff last night and now it appears the download doesn't exist in app store. Sad day! Devs can follow this forum if you're in the same boat:

In other news- iOS 10 beta is the most solid launch beta to test I've ever seen... impressive!

I don't see the point of removing the option from gate keeper. Its a perfectly valid option....
You can still press option to open the application for the first time.... but still, there's little reason why Apple should remove it.. unless they are slowly preparing for macOS lock down; something I don't think will happen, in the foreseeable future anyway.
Its the continued dumbification of macOS...

Given the price of storage - which is cheap, I would like to think that Apple would increase the free band to a more usable size... ( note: like to think vs reality ).
