You’re point was not to read the article or even discuss the subject at all. So yeah, you’re right, you’re not protection Apple - you’re protecting all of them.
Sorry, but you're mistaken again.
I'm not protecting anybody. I think EVERY one of the big tech companies has far to go to become properly responsive and responsible about vulnerabilities in their products. I'm a network system administrator, I deal with their products every day, and I have to address the problems their bugs create, whether it's problems the users report, or security vulnerabilities.
The reason the article is largely worthless is that it presents nothing useful, new, or interesting. It's just a rehash of criticisms we've all read numerous times in recent weeks or months. Its only objective is to gather page hits by slamming Apple in a headline.
It's click-bait, period. No new information, insights, perspectives, anything. Just trolling. Click-bait.
If you want to take part in a discussion of the topics mentioned in the article, there are probably a score or two of tech forums where people are still discovering these bugs and talking about them. We here at FreeRepublic have been discussing them since they first occurred, and speaking for myself, I don't feel a screaming need or desire to talk them into the ground any further.
For-q, if he's true to form, will probably dredge up a few more slam pieces of click-bait before even he tires of beating this dead horse, but nobody on FR will care.
Maybe someone could dredge up some Microsoft slam click-bait.... but the problem there is, it doesn't draw the same interest. "Apple" in a headline draws page hits infinitely better than "Microsoft". Oh well.
Ta-ta, if you can't understand where I'm coming from after the above, I'm afraid there's no more I care to offer. Hope you have a great evening.
