This should appear very innocuous to the user, because nobody thinks that TextEdit is dangerous, so one would think it’s not much of a risk to allow TextEdit to be controlled. My sample app opens a shell script in TextEdit, and then it uses the Apple Events permission to tell TextEdit to save the file, thus removing the quarantine and allowing the script to be executed outside the app’s sandbox.

Last month Sandbox AQ said it won a contract with the U.S.

It can also be used to monitor slight local changes in the earth's magnetic field, making navigation systems much more precise, he said. These have long been MRI machines, for instance, and Sandbox has created a prototype machine to monitor the heart. Sandbox AQ is also using existing types of sensors based on quantum physics.
