This comment made me remember my first Mac where when you launched an app it was given complete control over the hardware, with ASM calls to the Mac Toolbox.

Remembering these times it makes me wonder why should there be only one direction, and that maybe there is an alternative to putting all our most sensitive data in every internet connected devices? In old times when you had a computer to do some hobby like games, photo editing, music, etc... the data was only related to that activity, and in the worst case of nuking the hard drive you lost only that work.
