On iPhone sideloading: it’s ok, I’m changing my mind
I'm so utterly torn on this. I want sideloading for my own purposes, like installing classes of apps Apple would never approve (such as a real Unix shell with native code compilers). On the other hand, I absolutely <i>don't</i> want my older relatives to be able to install stuff from wherever. I just know I'll have a Thanksgiving conversation like "hey, could you look at my phone? It's been getting hot after Microsoft called and helped me install the new antivirus."<p>I don't have an answer for this. I'm all for people being able to get around the garden walls. I just hope and pray that no one in my "you use computers so you're my de facto tech support" circles does it.
