Scary! Did chimps code OS X?

Let's take them one by one:

"Apple OS X 10.4.5 .tiff "LZWDecodeVector ()" Heap Overflow"

His own links says:

"Solution:
This issue was silently fixed by Apple in update 10.4.6.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303411";

IOW, fixed; a non-issue.

Actually you are incorrect. It is an issue to those who don't upgrade to
get the fix. Why that happened to Windows 2000 users a while back. However
the Mackooks didn't blame the people who didn't upgrade, they heaped the
entire blame on Windows itself.

When are you guys going to give up on this malware hype that really
doesn't do much to a system? I mean if we listened to the nuts in here like
Jimmy Lee and Polaski, we would stupidly think that Windows XP is just plain
unusable. That is very far from the case.
