Yosemite sending unsolicited data to iCloud

People,

maybe we should be glad if Yosemite is not working properly. For when fully functional, it uploads all your (unfinished) documents to Apple servers/ iCloud, even if you actually don't use iCloud:

No wonder OS 10.10 is free: it has become a gigantic trojan, with a fully functional and safe free 10.9 Mavericks as a teaser for the wary. More than squares the capability of any existing adware/malware/trojan.

Has Apple struck a deal with the NSA PRISM program/ GCHQ? I try not to be paranoiac about it, but still...glad I'm not running Yo1010.

1984 coming into action, finally, in the latter days of Moore's law.

Here's a (translated) comment I've posted on the matter in Dutch on Intermactivity.be under the title:

Sci Fi:

And the next logical step is...no more local storage and OSXI "Terminator" only netbootable from Apple servers. Apps only per online Appstore subscription.

Users without Internet/ IPv6 addresses will do jail time. The use of alternate DNSes will be outlawed. Sale and possession of local storage will be illegal as well.

On iOS only "LiveWatches","LivePhones", "LivePads", "LivePods" and "LiveCars" remain, without local storage, only a WiFi link.

All services have to be paid for by subscription. E.g.: playing a song on or watching a movie on iTunes means paying royalties, "LiveCars" pay per mileage.

Give or take about 2025, all of this may be true and normal. Just call it "one more thing".

Maybe this sounds like Sci Fi, but IT technically, this is already possible. "Long live progress!"

How's that, trendwatchers?

Anyhow, seems like a good way to bypass Moore's law: every computer back to time sharing; your computing device a terminal of a global supercomputer owned by a multinational. Personal Computer history in reverse.

Long live "the Internet of things", hurrah!



So about time we users wake up...
