>Also, OSX doesn't require the kexts to be signed by Apple themselves - the requirement is that the kext is signed by a certificate that is blessed by Apple's CA. There are plenty of third party kexts out there.

I'm curious who has Apple blessed to do so, and what those kexts are?

Anybody who pays the $99/year to be an OS X developer and hasn't subsequently had their cert revoked for distributing malware.

Maybe go see a doctor about that. Just because I'm asking a question and then not committing righteous suicide because of how great my first world problems are, doesn't mean I actually expressed an opinion about driver signing in general, one way or another.
