Apple Responds to MOAB

frdmfghtr writes "Apple has released what appears to be the first security update as a result of the "Month of Apple Bugs." While the Apple site doesn't explicitly say that the fix was a result of the MOAB, it does point to a sample Quicktime file that triggers the overflow flaw (well, sort of...it says the file is there but doesn't provide any links)."

    Wonder when Apple is going to respond back to the EU about their issues concerning IPOD and DRM? These days, it seems that Apple is becoming like MS.

  2. Why the propensity to acronyms genetic? by Jzor · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    What is it with the human race and creating an acronym for every damn thing?

  3. Wish they'd picked a different acronym by blueZ3 · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    Any other vets out there who keep reading these headlines about the MOAB and wondering how Apple's Cupertino campus survived the "mother of all bombs"? I mean, you gotta love those later-day daisy-cutters and once you've seen one of those things falling out of a C-130, the MOAB acronym just doesn't work for anything else.
