But as Kevin said, adding limited file I/O to secure modes it being worked on, so any inconvenience should be short-lived.
I read that but it sounded that this will happen some time in the future, well after player's introduction. As someone interested in its success, I am just concerned that this may come a tad late, as in spoiling the impression made by the player and thus its broad acceptance. I'd love to be wrong, though.
PS A malicious person can include an external which I don't think can be prevented from accessing disks and system.
SecureMode shuts down not just file I/O, but also shell, AppleScript, and registry access. I agree that if it doesn't currently shut down the externals API it should. Is that the case?
If it shuts down externals, then, for example, it would not be possible to access databases.
I'm not clear on what you're after, as your post raises good arguments in both directions. Are you advocating more security, less, or something altogether different?
