Nobody saw this yet?

Turns out a complete non-story.

Non-story? This just confirms that Blizzard indeed got an exception.

The reason doesn't make it a "non-story" in any way.

Nobody sane expected the reason to be anything besides something like that (e.g. some evil root access plan) -- and it's still a story.

Yes non-story, read through tweets and links in the link I posted.

The "story" here was that Apple was being irresponsible by giving Blizzard an exception to the sandbox.

In actuality it's little more than a shim to make a buggy Blizzard updater not crash by thinking it could do something it couldn't.

Someone should change the title on the HN story - it's just straight-up false.

Yeah, updates from John Gruber's birdies are so reassuring.
