> why cant you even admit when Apple is wrong? Apple had flawed code

Of course they did. No huge body of code is free of flaws. So what? The sky is blue, is that also a revelation?

Your awe at the simplest things make me wonder if you're new to this topic....

That's certainly true.

But the fact remains, Apple apparently still fails to utilize a basic protective capability built into the processors on which it runs by diligent Intel engineers: data execution prevention. DEP keeps many of those undiscovered flaws from having consequences beyond crashing the application you are using at the time.
