Apple engineers are an odd bunch
Apple zealots praise Apple because Apple releases a patch as soon as it is ready instead of waiting until they can bundle it up in a package that is more convenient to end users. What I find interesting about Apple engineers is that they seem to do no bug fixing at all and then in 1 day, fix 12 flaws. Or, in the case of previous OS X patches, they will sometimes fix 40 flaws all at once!! I just wonder why they wait so long before these "coding sprints"? Couldn't they have fixed one of these Safari flaws last week and released it, then another early this week and released it, then another today and released it? Why wait until Thursday to do all of your coding at once? Like I said, if Apple zealots are right about Apple releasing patches as soon as they are ready, then Apple engineers are a very odd bunch.

perhaps  richvball44 | 11/13/08
