Apple's Gatekeeper Still Broken (csoonline.com)

itwbennett writes: This weekend, Apple security expert Patrick Wardle will detail a vulnerability in Apple's Gatekeeper that makes it possible to bypass the anti-malware defense. This is the same vulnerability that was disclosed last April, which Apple said it patched later. Wardle was able to easily bypass Apple's fixes. He says "all Apple did was blacklist the signed apps he was abusing, but didn't fix the underlying issue, which is that, essentially, Gatekeeper functions as a guard that doesn't check" software already on the whitelist.

Yeah no kidding.

I don't personally like Apple the company. I just think they are too much about marketing hype. I was also not a fan of Steve Jobs personally.

But I still will recommend a Mac to someone when appropriate.

Computers and operating systems are tools not ideologies. Use the best tool for the job.

I won't be buying Apple products any time soon, but that is because there are tools out there that work better for me.
