Okay, before I quote the best part of the article I read, I have to give some background on the most famous Apple user, Artie MacStrawman.
Now that you know Artie, read this:
They wanted a more secure OS X, right? Does the response time for vulnerabilities mean anything? Not to Artie MacStrawman who believes that OS X is 100% completely safe and never has no problems nowhere and was therefore shocked shocked I say! to learn that some apps, even on OS X, are imperfect. To the rest of us, however, the response time of the 3rd party vendors should be heartening.
What they’re referring to is the idea that even after vendors patched their software, their page at the Month of Apple Bugs website is not updated with information.
Let’s examine that.
1. When vendors patched their software? Wait a minute… Isn’t this the month of Apple bugs? By that standard, we can call every program that has a glitch that runs on Winders a Winders bug, right? I mean, if AIM introduces a security hole, we can call it a Winders flaw! What a great idea!
And stupid.
Secondly, I refer back to the quoted paragraph. If the goal was to get security up to par on a Mac, they did a shit job. Forget the fact that most of the bugs weren’t even Apple bugs, but bugs in programs that run on OSX. When a vendor patches a glitch fix, post the damn thing.
I guess they don’t want to lessen the quality of their sacred list.
What a joke.
Month of Apple Bugs ended up being the Mother of All Bombs. Better luck next year, wannabes. Artie MacStrawman is watching.
