Why would a Mac need a security update? I thought they didn’t get viruses, hacked, etc.

C’mon, Eagle. Go to the Apple Menu, choose “Software Update...” and click “Install” to install Security Update 2007-004. Nothing to it. And it’s only 10 MB.

Just remember Rodney when something goes wrong on a PC it’s MS’s fault. WHen something goes wrong on an Apple it’s the users fault, so really this update is the users fault.

It said that the vulnerabilities could lead to a system crash or allow an intruder to run unauthorized software on the computer...hackers?......say it ain't so!....har har har
There must have been a "surge" in mac users that make it somewhat worthwhile to hack a mac...

Did you hear about the recent contest to “hack” a Mac? The winner got $10K. Originally, the first prize was a Mac, but then the contest organizers realized a new Mac for a prize wasn’t good enough — might not attract enough hackers.

I thought that Apple computers were without out blemish (GOD like existence and all) … why do they need for fixes?
Horror or horrors, the Mac has need of updating and fixes? I thought this was a malady only belonged to MS.
25 at a time, no less!

I’d buy a Mac, but I’m not gay.

MAC = flashy GUI with a Linux core. Go with Fedora Core 6 and enjoy life. MACs piss me off because they tout their utilitarian nature, but they’re just as vulnerable as any PC. It’s dependent on the user. MS just went about security the wrong way, and they still haven’t made a product worth buying with Vista.
