For those who think Apple OS security is a non-issue....

Two security researchers are spending the next month publicising bugs in
Apple's OS X operating system and programs that run on it.....

The Apple Mactelinux OS has many holes that have been publicly documented.
IThe size of the Apple market, in particular its total non-existence with
regard to large servers and corporations, makes it an invisible target.

Why would you expect any? ;-)

Clicking on all the links, it seems like a non-issue. The Apple OS is
still far more robust than anything Microsoft has.

These are just a couple of twits with no real knowledge. So far, they
haven't come up with anything in the OS, just QuickTime and a program
that's not even made by Apple.

Yes, but the vast majority of Apple Mac users believe the 'party line'
that they are safe. Even a minimal exploit would wreck great havoc
among a userbase that runs with no protection, and no suspicion.

Nope. Just gibberish.

Hasn't happened yet.

Hell, I've been using Microsoft since the DOS days and I'm still waiting for
my very first virus or security breach. I feel left out and rejected like a
Somolian stepchild with ebola.

You're a better man than me. When we had a win98 box on an old 'dial up'
DSL line it was a matter of months before it became virtually unusable. On
the other hand, we've now had four linux machines online 24/7/365 via
broadband connection for four years without a single infestation - and I
don't even think about it.
