@Matthew Paul Thomas,
1>"the security holes" i'm referring to is *user acceptance * to the
appearance of pop-ups,
 if there are no pop-ups by any app then the user will be concerned when
any app open a pop-up but since now that u are creating a pop-up
acceptance behavior , the user will not be alarmed by a malicious
pop-up. this is how non-technical users get tricked. this is really a
security issue.

2>the food analogy was because u had proposed options to choose the
daily display of updates but this option is not available. when will
that option be available?

3>also, looks like the App Centre idea has been around since 2005, any
ideas when that might be implemented?
