  • Apple Products Should Be Band On Windows.

    They have more security bugs than any other product on Windows. Is it a coincidence that they are competitors and Apple used the malware on Windows against MS in past comercials ("I'm A MAC, I'm A PC")?

  • arbitary code execution

    how do you rely on a vendor when they make software that can execute external code from something as innocent as a font or a media file?

    So what took mApple so long? They sat on 9 vulnerabilities. Shouldn't they release an update a bit sooner instead wait months.

    [Oh now i know why. They will now claim they only release let's say 5 updates this year instead of the usual dozen by delaying updates - of course making our coimputers vulnerable to problems.]
