MACBOOK AIR OS X 10.8.5.
It is going from a great experience to now almost wishing I would have bought another PC. How hare is it to install a 3rd party app. I was running WEATHERBUG just fine with 10.8.2. All I have read about 10.8.5 is that it has fixed abunch of bugs. Yeah right.

How are you trying to install apps, and what exactly happens when you try?
I am trying to install "WEATHERBUG" Weatherbug was allowed to run just fine on earlier versions of MOUNTAIN LION. 10.4 and later won't allow this 3rd party app to download.

Johns-MacBook-Air:~ jhnbhn$ command-V /Users/jhnbhn/Downloads/WeatherBug\ Alert.app
-bash: command-V: command not found
Johns-MacBook-Air:~ jhnbhn$
This is the result.
Command-V is not what you paste. It's the keyboard shortcut you press in order to paste; that is, you press the command and V keys at the same time. The actual command should look like this:
ls -@ORaeln /Users/jhnbhn/Downloads/WeatherBug\ Alert.app

Still no Weatherbug app that can be installed.
Please run this command in the same way, then try again to launch the app:
xattr -c -r De*/W*.app
Thanks for getting me through the nightmare of 3rd party apps.

Apple is becomming way too much like the US Government. They think they know better than anyone else how we should do things.
I fully support a warning dialog, but to have to jump through abunch of hoops to turn asetting off and then for your protection, turning it back on is not working for me.
Time to move to Linux?.
I have installed 10.8.5 and now am unable to install 3rd party apps, like weather bug.
