such things.
Agreed. Any effective solution will come in an update from Apple that
prevents OS X itself from running. If Apple can't detect it when they
control all the hardware, firmware, kernel and user-land software, and
also have some financial incentive to solve it, it seems unlikely that
a third-party user-land app is going to be more effective.
Any approach posted publicly in this forum will be defeated before the
bits have dried.
