Could you imagine if people could make the kind of money developing things for Linux that they do developing things for iOS? It would make comments like yours kind of funny and relevant.
Android (Linux) has surpassed iOS in number of users worldwide.

I'm not sure I completely follow you. I would calculate on the basis of developers building software that runs on top of Linux, so that would include a large proportion of all web applications as well as various embedded applications. You could probably include android in there also. Now it's true that this isn't quite apples to apples since Linux is more fungible than iOS in most regards, mostly thanks to it's open…
Why would you include Web Applications as part of that? Web applications are almost completely OS-agnostic. I can run my PHP application on Linux, on OSX, or on Windows. It shouldn't count for any of the three operating systems because it wasn't built for any of them. It was built to run on a software stack which runs on all three.
Could you imagine if the Linux Developer Center went down? It'd be nearly impossible to write Linux software, or download Linux development tools, or generate a Linux binary that a device was allowed to run. It'd be awful.

My money is personally on massive, unrecoverable data loss. If you've ever poked around with the way that Apple's website works, you can see that the entire place is a huge mess. There's old servers running ancient (pre-2004) perl scripts alongside the brand new iCloud gear. I can't imagine how the authentication for AppleID is working as login details still work on the ancient pages (think pinstripes and glassy butt…
From Feb this year:
"Earlier today it was reported that Apple’s computers had been compromised by a zero-day exploit in Java. Apple quickly released an update to patch the flaw for all Macs, but not before some of its own employees had been hacked.... A site called iPhoneDevSDK has been revealed as the means by which a dangerous exploit was injected via a Java plugin."

I have received 6 "How to reset your Apple ID password" Email from Apple during the last couple of days, none of which was triggered by me. Could this be related?

But people do in fact choose to run them on Linux which is unlikely to be a purely arbitrary choice though by nature open source stacks will be more portable, but it seems perverse to use that as a negative argument.
You're not writing a PHP application for Linux, you're just writing a PHP application, which can run on one of Linux, Windows, OSX, etc. Just because you choose to run in on Linux does not mean you wrote it specifically to be run on Linux, nor should it be included in the metric for Linux apps.

I hope that what ever it is, it doesn't put too big a crimp in them.

The dialog you've shown for OS X does not look native at all. Not just the spacing, but especially the second selector ('render') is quite odd. Also the font usage for the labels, the light-gray borders around the input fields and the tab focus is strange. Does QT basically render a bitmap, or does it use the native controls and just has some odd default styling? If it's the first, then I would probably do the UI in…
It's got a master stylesheet attached for the tabs, but admittedly, even without it, it's not identical. http://imgur.com/68b9eoO - is native Cocoa moc-up in XCode. I concede the borders are slightly different, but I personally wouldn't have noticed or minded. The render button is a custom button - the only difference from the native one is the right-hand menu triangle which isn't native. Qt has styles, and draws con…

This makes our best guess to be "security breach".
