Geez, for-q. Please stop being such an ass and misquoting Swordmaker. He never has said any such thing.

> Hell Microsoft hasn’t had a screw up this bad in over a decade.

You been asleep for a decade? That's not even a good joke, it's just false.

Hate to say it, for-q, but your slurs have become really, really boring and your inaccurate comments sound stupider with every retort. Since you're probably not actually stupid, why not try sounding more intelligent, and discuss the problem that way? It's easy:

- Apple screwed the pooch on some SSL cert checking code, opening up a vulnerability.

- They were able to roll out a fix for iOS devices very rapidly, and did so.

- The fix for OS-X (I assume actually for Safari) will take a little longer, perhaps because of the greater testing required in the much wider environment of OS-X (iOS is a fairly tightly controlled embedded environment).

You don't want to compare that error and response to numerous MS security screwups of the last decade, or MS's typical response time, trust me. Everybody screws up from time to time, and this one, while potentially serious, is nothing like the worst of the bunch.

Seriously, for-q. Get a grip. You're embarrassing yourself. Have a great evening.

Complete Microsoft EMET Bypass Developed

I figure that's in the same league, and conviniently enough, appears to have been announced yesterday.
