The patch to fix the patch that fixed the patch that Jack built
I laugh and I laugh and I laugh at those who suggest that people have to patch Windows more frequently than OS X. Those same people will then turn around and cheer Apple for releasing patches "as soon as they are ready" (a laughable statement as it implies that the 50+ fixes found in most Apple mega-patches were all finished at the same time, a few seconds before release to the public).

The patch to fix the patch that fixed the patch that Jack built  NonZealot | 08/12/09
No, Apple does not release a lot of patches  Qbt | 08/12/09
Apple are the worst, consistently. OSX in 2009: In excess of 109 vulns!  honeymonster | 08/12/09
And, once again...  vikingnyc@... | 08/13/09
And once again...  Qbt | 08/13/09
You keep quoting the same numbers... This isn't the year 2000 any more.  vulpine@... | 08/13/09
And you need to realize the US is not the world.  rtk | 08/13/09
There is a world outside the USA, you know  Qbt | 08/13/09
I see you changed your tune, rtk...  vulpine@... | 08/14/09

Your Numbers  Flying Pig | 08/18/09
I'd like to note that...  vulpine@... | 08/13/09
Nope, vulnerability count: OSX: Excess of 109, Vista: 27, XP: 35  honeymonster | 08/13/09
I think you need to look a little deeper.  vulpine@... | 08/14/09
I just went over the list...  honeymonster | 08/15/09

Uh, no.  914four | 08/27/09
Better question:  vulpine@... | 08/13/09
Only 4? Apple had 23 "patch events" in 2009  Qbt | 08/13/09
Don't feed this troll  tonymcs@... | 08/16/09

The Emperor's new clothers didn't work  tonymcs@... | 08/12/09
It's not locked down if it has never been put to the test  Qbt | 08/12/09
I took "locked down" to mean a closed system controlled by Apple.  ye | 08/13/09
Yea I know, it I was kinda making a more general statement  Qbt | 08/13/09
As long as you believe the Mac's installed base is so low...  vulpine@... | 08/13/09
You can believe any made-up statistic you want...  Qbt | 08/13/09
"... you have to be a pretty dumb hacker..."  vulpine@... | 08/13/09
Yes, because of Apple being a bit player  Qbt | 08/13/09
There's one more factor which will turn attackers to go after OSX  honeymonster | 08/13/09
DEP/NX on OS/X  zdnet-gregc | 08/17/09
Or is it the Mac that covers 12%?  bbonis@... | 08/13/09

Bigger target.  phatkat | 08/14/09

LOL, talk about making up "facts"  Qbt | 08/13/09
You are out of the loop, aren't you?  vulpine@... | 08/13/09
So you just admitted that marketshare is the key  Qbt | 08/13/09
You're arguing...  zkiwi | 08/13/09
To zwiki: Nope, not what I said at all...  Qbt | 08/13/09
Now you're getting ridiculous  zkiwi | 08/13/09
@zkiwi: It is you who are being ridiculous.  ye | 08/14/09
I guess you missed the bit...  zkiwi | 08/14/09
Following that question about Conficker...  vulpine@... | 08/14/09
@zkiwi: Nope. I didn't miss your FUD.  ye | 08/14/09
@vulpine: That's easy. There's 65 million dumb people.  ye | 08/14/09
Where did the 65 million come from?  Sleeper Service | 08/14/09
For those of you who want to know where my numbers come from...  vulpine@... | 08/20/09
Sorry but those numbers are biased  NonZealot | 08/20/09
@non-Zealot: Then show me more realistic numbers--from a verifiable source.  vulpine@... | 09/15/09
Well...  zkiwi | 08/13/09
That's nice...  Sleeper Service | 08/14/09

Very true  Gis Bun | 08/13/09
You may be right, but...  vulpine@... | 08/14/09
Would you believe me if I said the same for Windows?  NonZealot | 08/14/09
It means that neither of you are idiots  goff256 | 08/17/09
Huh?  The_Mastermind | 08/18/09
Why do you care?  zdnet-gregc | 08/17/09
