Comments on: Apple releases two dozen patches for Mac OS X, one for iPhone

Apple cleans house in advance of annual Black Hat security conference.

Not two dozen patches

This nonsense is even worse than Tom's 'torrent.' Users will not be using most of the non-system essential patches. For example, only Squirrel Mail users with actually need that patch. By stating the aggregate possibilities, you mislead the public into thinking OS X has more problems than it actually does. Pure FUD.

Yea, Just Like Microsoft

You Know... How people blame Microsoft for problems with their operating system when they make it to work on an infinate number of computers with a infinate number of thrid party hardware and software? Its not Microsoft's fault, its "Nvidia" or "Creative labs" fault who make stuff that causes Windows to have an issue... Right? Thats what you mac users say all the time, Right? I forget, apple has more third party components right? I mean, its not like they make their own hardware, right?

24+ Patches, but Remember, Apple is purrrfect

Apple Never has problems! Never! They never ever ever ever crash or never never never have a virus, anything else people say is just lies, lies I say!!! Hey, look at this cool shrine I made for my G4! sometimes I sit at home alone at night and invite some of my pottery friends over and we make pottery that looks like Justin Long, and its so great! We listen to everything apple says, like that iPod virus... that was just Microsoft being evil again. Evil, Evil I say!

Envy can be a powerful emotion. Get over it, dude, and buy that
Mac you have secretly wanted but avoided because you think your
friends won't understand.

24+ patches

Hmm, funny how when I ran software update, it only showed
two updates... kind of misleading to report that users are
installing 24 separate patches. Additionally, software update is
only updating 13 components on my system, not the 24+,
because I'm not running server, which most people aren't.

Unlike Microsoft, Apple doesn't make you download and install 5
separate files every month and take 5 minutes on each file
followed by an extended restart. So perhaps you should stop
trolling and go restart your Windows machine since that seems
to fix everything, and it's user seems a little slow.

RE: Ha! Ha! Ha! my Mac cannot be hacked!!!

You need to seriously get a life. In the four years since I switched
to a Mac the only viruses and exploits I have received on my
system were all 100% aimed at Windows machines.

And just in case you do not know, vulnerability and exploit are not
the same thing. Apple has a much better record of fixing
vulnerabilities before they become exploits than your God, MS,
does.
