Comments on: One more update to Apple patch

Update is designed to address installation problems with patch released earlier in week, say security experts.

Big deal?

"The company's latest security update is the third attempt to tackle
some Mac OS X issues."

They make it sound like the last two attempts was a complete
failure. I have several friends install the same update and none of
us had problems. I think this attempt was to fix some of the other
minor problems just like buffing the car to showroom shine.

But, there wasn't time

for most people to experience problems after installing the
previous patch. Seems to me that this is likely proactive.

Welcome to the patch parade...

those high horses are beginning to look a bit lame.

[Jesus#2]

nope.

the view is great from up here....

hows live in the cesspool? Haven't been there in a while.

No new update...

It is the same of last week, nothing to report? Wired has real news,
go check it out!

What a Joke! Worse than Microsoft

Apple should really start concentrating on security. They have been left behind in this area and is only going to get worse for them. This patch on a patch on a patch doesnt bode well for the future.

They should also be more honest and transparent with the public about their security problems.

but if they did that...

then some of those 'arrogant' mac users who refuse to listen to any kind of reasoning for anything that may make the mac look bad might have to cry.

Security problems?

"They should also be more honest and transparent with the public

Ok, no flaming, no baiting, no trolling but an honest question -
what security problems are you talking about?

Apple response time

I hear comments like Apple is proactive and their response time is quick.

Actually the response time should start from the time they identify an issue to the time they completly fixed the issue.

So in this case the response time from Patch 1 to Patch 3 (If this patch fixes all the problems). Probably one week or more I guess!!!

Just my 2 cents.

What I really want to say is for any software company (Microsoft or Apple) it takes time to fix a identified problem. Just the life in software business.

No big deal

This "update" is only for OS X users who (for some reason) moved
the Safari application outside the Applications folder prior to
running the previous Security Update.
