Apple OS X “HackStore” launches
A group of Russian developers have recently launched the “HackStore”: an online store providing Apple Mac OS X users access to third party applications for the platform.
Similar to Cydia on iOS, the HackStore allows developers to distribute applications for the OS X platform without going through Apple’s approval process.
The developers have noted that piracy will not be tolerated on the HackStore, however, it is unclear what measure will be implemented to prevent this from happening.
“The biggest Mac Appstore problem is that they limit their users in everything, without giving an opportunity to expand these limits,” said the HackStore developers on their website.
“This is not [right], because only users should decide which applications they should install and which [not to]. We think HackStore [will] break through the narrow confines of Mac Appstore.”
