Apple Uncommunicative About Security Holes

blackmonday writes "Kieren McCarthy of Techworld argues that Mac OS X is rife with security holes, and that Apple is doing a 'half-hearted' job of patching their operating system security holes, and has a 'strange habit of pretending a big problem is of no significance.' As a Mac user I find this an intriguing article in light of the Sasser Worm and its recent variants." Despite the article's assertions, no evidence of widespread security problems, or lack of effort to solve them, is offered. The only real question is Apple's lack of communication with the public in the nature of the problems.

  1. Are you an Mac freak? I mean geek. by shrewtamer · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    I know this is slightly off topic but reading this article made me think it would be nice if people could clearly identify as part of their account i) They are a Mac freak. ii) They are a Windows freak. iii) They are a Linux freak. iv) They are just a freak. Then you could easily filter out those people who weren't just freaks. I mean geeks.
