If I had to pick hardware and software as if my life depended on it - it would be an IBM mainframe with the latest and greatest version of MVS (or whatever the current name of it is) on it.
So how come when Microsoft releases a BETA product and bugs are found in it that the same consideration isn't given to Microsoft and that BETA product? Oh - I know - its because it Microsoft and its not Apple!
So in your math - a single product that has 50 patches is "better" than 10 updates/31 vulnerabilities for an entire platform? In an ideal world - there would be 0 bugs but since we don't live in an ideal world then ALL platforms - including your beloved MAC - will always be rife with issues. Of course you can't ever see that or admit that - when it comes to Apple/MAC's.
So where is the Slashdot article on the following? It's as current as the Microsoft article from ZDNet! I guess as long as it puts Apple in a bad light - it gets ignored or even censored. But if it can be interpreted as Microsoft=BAD then let's up the font size and BOLD the headers!
My initial smart-ass thoughts for a reply are to say that how dare we even think of lowering Apple's god-like moral plane. But I digress. Censorship can be applied by any organization - it is not a behavior reserved to governments. Your reply is just so typical of all the Apple apologists - Apple can do no wrong! You know that 1984 Apple Super Bowl commercial was more ironic re: this topic. Read the book - you might be enlightened. Until then - keep you head in the sand.
But Apple Blocks/Censors Too!!

I clearly think censorship of any kind by anyone is just WRONG! That includes China. But why is there no criticism in Slashdot of Apple for their heavy-handed censorship of forum postings?

I love how Apple boys just can't handle the truth!
If it is a SQL Injection attack - then it's sloppy development by a sloppy developer. Platform/DB... independent!
Interesting - why??? Just yet another re-hash of the Apple party line!
