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.
apples can't talk.
So, the news is now out that Pat Tillman, the Cardinals player killed in combat, was an atheist. Now, as an atheist myself, I think that's great. But going off to war voluntarily was just STUPID.
But, in the end, I'm thankful to Pat Tillman, in the same way that I'm thankful to all the lottery players who help make public education affordable. Without a large number of stupid people to fight our wars, where would this country be?
So, for your sacrifice, I thank you Pat Tillman, you became the ultimate chump to keep us free.

It doesn't take the special insite of an "Apple apologist" to recognise this article as complete tripe.
I've always found it amazing that people who can't even spell a word as commonly used as "insight" feel they have a right to give their opinion about somebody else's writing.
Why don't go finish primary school before you open your cake hole?
Very good point. Discoling to the people affected makes more sense than telling the world at large.
MOD PARENT UP!!
If it's not on fire, it's a software problem.
No, but you can get crabs from eating a Mac user's anus.
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.

You speak from experience?
you pile of shit
Why does it take class action lawsuits
for apple to admit they have problems?
Software or hardware.
