I only own mobile Apple products, so I can't really speak to anything concerning Mac's specifically. My opinion, though...that any program or app would require 'control' of a computer in order to check for or install updates is disturbing, to say the least. |
Nothing disturbing, really. Apple simply improved security with OSX Mavericks. Applications and scripts need your explicit authorization more often before performing system tasks. For apps such as Google Chrome, which auto-updates silently, it's no big deal that it would ask for your authorization before being able to perform updates by itself.
