I'm sorry, did you really criticize my logic on the grounds that it would not fit into a dialog box? The fact is, the dialog box is intentionally deceptive.
"This is the way forward people." Actually, the way forward is the direction we've already been going on; where there are no gatekeepers interrupting their collection of punitive tolls on software only long enough to lie about the software they don't collect their 30% from.
> I'm sorry, did you really criticize my logic on the grounds that it would not fit into a dialog box?
No, I didn't. I don't even know what you are referring to with this. I criticized it because it was a completely unhelpful response that would only serve to confuse users even more.
Are you joking? You're going to sit there with a straight face and argue that Apple should tell users that signed apps are a credible threat? Jesus.
> The fact is, the dialog box is intentionally deceptive.
No, it isn't. The app is untrustworthy because it is unsigned, and they are using a "signed = trustworthy" model. It's as clear as day and completely factual.
> Actually, the way forward is the direction we've already been going on.
No, it isn't. The way forward is simplifying interaction with computers. Arguing otherwise is completely idiotic, take any other example of technology in the world and notice that it advanced faster and more efficiently than ever before when it was simplified to the point of the masses being comfortable with it.

They aren't lying, and they aren't imposing this on "apps they don't collect their 30% from" that is actually a flat out lie and you know it. Signed apps don't have to be distributed through the MAS. They can be distributed through the web, not result in that dialogue box, and not have to pay 30%.
