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)."

I still chuckle at the irony that Bush & Co were self-righteously proclaiming that Saddam secretly was developing WMD's and then all of a sudden they turn around and announce "Hey everybody! Check out our new weapon! It's the MOTHER of ALL BOMBS!!!"

MOAB == WMD.

Where are they?

Well, on the web we have this thing called hyperlinks. The great thing about hyperlinks is that the allow you to quickly go to the place they point to, rather than having to look through a pile of sites to find the one that matches the one referred to in the text you were reading.

Of course, that all falls on the floor if you don't actually _use_ hyperlinks. So no, just mentioning the source in plain text is not enough.
