> Apple can [sic] starts using the new Trusted Computing[4] features on new CPUs (such as SGX[5]), good luck regaining control.
It seems the apocalypse came to pass a while back, with the Secure Enclave in Apple's A7 processors.
> Of course, they know how to disable the restrictions or install a jailbreak, so these problems don't apply to the technological priesthood - it's normal people that have to live with the restrictions.
Here's the funny thing: normal people benefit from those restrictions. Without them, their devices – the ones you insist they should own – would quickly become someone else's: the attacker's. It would be awesome if people started thinking about long-term consequences.
Honest question: do you hate root? Should all processes run with equal privileges? Does the kernel have an evil and undesired permissions level?
