Important notice to Mac users
Apple, Inc. was originally scheduled to enforce its Desktop Police Act of 2011, which requires that all software submissions to Mac App Store be sandboxed. Desktop Police Act is their attempt to seemingly prevent ill-designed software from affecting the system. In reality, it's a poor implementation. It's so poor that even their own software products including TextEdit and Preview can crash or hang up once in a while. Sandboxed software products are especially vulnerable when you open or save a document.
Why do we need Apple's permission every time we edit an existing TextEdit document? Why do we need Apple's permission every time we uppack a zip archive and then open a file inside it? We don't even have easy access to the Library folder any more under Mac OS X Lion.
We strongly oppose Apple's Desktop Police Act. And we have no intention of sandoxing our software products though Apple's has postposed the deadline to March, 2012. And there will be no more software updates with or without serious bugs when they require that all software submissions be sandboxed. Even till then, we won't update our software products at Mac App Store unless absolutely necessary.
In the meantime, we will continue to support software products that we sell at our web sites.
