blog.washingtonpost.com — "A security researcher has picked January 2007 as the starting point for a month-long project in which each passing day will feature a previously undocumented security hole in Apple's OS X operating system or in Apple applications that run on top of it. The "Month of Apple Bugs" project is slated to begin on Jan. 1." Think different!

@Doghound I wasn't trying to view any website at all. It did that just sitting there.

@panique, ummm....no, if I had no morals and found a good way to break into macs, I'd use it to make money. The instant you deface apple.com they'll fix the problem.

"by dblyth I agree, but are they going to release software updates on 31 consecutive days? I know that would annoy me for sure."That's why Mac OS X checks for updates every week by default.

This can't be right! Isn't Apple Perfect in all things?

You are correct, it is a fundamental "rule" for any whitehat, but to be honest...I am ok with Apple eating its own s**t every once in a while.

The funny thing is that if any company was going to sue its users for publicly humiliating them (by exposing bugs) it would definitely be Apple.Go ahead my friend, lead your little lawsuit once this guy starts releasing the bugs.Oh, and you're obviously from the US huh? A country full of pathetically little sue-happy people. (Yes, I am from the US as well d**kh**d).

Well,It certainly seems like a bad idea to point out security holes in an OS, regardless of who made the OS.All I can say for myself is, I'm glad that I made the transition to OS X, I'm even happier that I'm not stuck using windows, and happiest that I'm not loading my system down with Symantec, AVG, Ad-Aware, and every other damn filtering program, just to have to run it again... and again... and again! (without an end in sight)After doing tech support for DOS through XP based machines, it was pretty nice to not have to worry so damn much about viruses and could actually get to running some rewarding programs, instead of banging my head against the wall... since I've become an Apple service provider, I tell you what I'd rather do some simple repairs like: "I dropped my iPod" than: "um, I haven't run Norton in a year and a half... but I need you to get my PowerPoint presentation off of my Dell for my meeting tomorrow... and could you disinfect the whole machine for me while you're at it, I'll be back in an hour... oh it takes about forty five minutes for it to boot because of all of the viruses"For the people that are hardcore windows users, I challenge you to put your PC away for one month, if you actually went back to it for the love of Windows, I'd be surprised.Point is: I used to hate Macs, then reluctantly I bought one for my recording studio... within two weeks I gave all of my PC's to my family with the stipulation that I never see them again. I really was that impressed. I could NEVER say the same about any version of Windows (including Vista, running on my Mac via BootCamp... best looking, worst running windows yet).
