[QUOTE="509322, post: 770509"] If I put in place security boundaries and you take them down, then that is all on you. It is no different using software. The real failure is in user education. You simply cannot compensate for users' lack of knowledge and inexperience with software. Absolutely not. It is like putting a band aid onto an underlying genetic disorder. That's how stupid the solution is. And it is the fault of the OS publisher that puts out such a permissive OS in this day and age. Of course permissive computing is a menace. It's the second reason we find ourselves in the current blight. The first reason are users. Ignorant user with matches + permissive OS loaded with flammable fuel = explosion. Dramatic, but apt example. iOS is a lock down, default deny device. The whole point of iOS is to take as many user choices away from users because users cannot be trusted to protect themselves. "Users that want to use stuff" are a menace. The malware problem cannot be solved by security software publishers alone. People are an integral part of the security. If people cannot handle it, then they should be given only devices with extremely restricted user choices. That, in fact, is the whole premise of iOS. People can be counted on to make bad choices - whether willfully or innocently. So you take away the choice in the first place. [/QUOTE]
