1.35GB OSX Upgrade??

[$MacUser$]

I went to download 10.7.3 today, then realized I wanted to download/take care of some other stuff prior and stopped software update. At the time it was one file at 700 and change MB.

I took care of my business, backed up, went into software update and now I'm seeing 1.35 GB combined for two files? What is all this nonsense and why now is the download doubled in size in a matter of about an hour?

Ugh. Either way, Lion is by far the most immature, rushed-to-market version of OSX I've used. Slop fest!

The original "delta" update was pulled in favour of the combo update.

Btw, I installed the delta and have had no problems. Similarly, I have had no problems with Lion either.

it was found a year ago.... and just now fixing it....

One of the most notable and serious flaws Apple addressed exists in unpatched versions of Apache. The vulnerability could allow a hacker to decrypt Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encrypted Web sessions. The glitch, as Dennis Fisher from the security firm Kaspersky Lab explained, was exploited last year by a proof-of-concept tool called BEAST.

And....?

This isn't an exploit in the wild. This is a "white hat" discovery by Kaspersky. They didn't find a way of exploiting it and then publish how to do it online.

There are probably numerous as yet undiscovered holes in most operating systems. If I find one and tell Apple about it, are you going to cry about them taking a year to plug something only I have found at that point?
