GPGTools – OpenPGP Tools for Apple OS X

While this is great, the teaser animation/splash screen [1] is incredibly irritating. While slick and very pretty, the "typing" animation took way too long - and there's no obvious way to disable it.

Does anyone know how they got around sandboxing, since that was the problem with Mountain Lion up until now?

I think it could be less irritating if they would just increase the speed to be at or above reading speed. Surely someone has researched what that speed is and written something about it?

I think it's worth defending because even though I was annoyed by it, I did read every letter! Maybe because it's because I'm slightly invested since I started using gpgtools a few days ago and was very impressed by the software, but still, getting people to read copy is a very desirable thing on any marketing site right?

We've found a kind of "hole" in Apple's sandboxing (they know about it but I guess it's necessary for legacy software) and hope they don't close it too soon
