  1. How is this news? by Paul+Bristow · · Score: 5, Insightful

    So called highly critical patch installed itself yesterday on my iBook.

    For those of us who need it, Apple update takes care of it.

    If there was an exploit that meant we should click on "Software Update" instead of waiting for it to cycle round, great but this is just Apple-bashing. Is this a microsofty going "look! other OS's have security updates too" while there are many many exploits in the wild for them?

        Anyway it's a day late. This is "internet time", if you can remember that far back :-)
