‘You claimed in post #11 that Apple has falsely claimed these problems were nothing but hot air. I challenged you to give examples of that.’

Here is what I really said:

“Remember, people have claimed a lot of bugs with OS X before that Apple falsely claimed to be a lot of hot air.”

I answered you back in post #48

Dave Maynor who is in this article and the apple wifi driver vulns Apple claimed not to exist... and then patched.

Microsoft used to really be a joke but they’ve really improved their software development lifecycle in terms of security. If you want to learn more look for any book by Michael Howard.

You didn’t answer in #48. You haven’t quoted Apple saying anything of the sort. Rather, you are relying on the PC Magazine author to be accurate in his characterization of official Apple responses to Maynor.

His hack was the same event I mentioned in my previous post, isn’t it? After many hours and many failures, they changed the rules of the challenge in order to break into the MacBook Pro, right? And the exploit did require user intervention to trigger it, right?
