I love updating

 

[wakemac]

Downloaded fine, but took a long time to restart while updating. Everything normal once it did restart.

Does it also update the Flash-Plugin to v.10.1? Can't evaluate it right now..

 

[arcade99]

It's just a Security update and not the implementation of new Features...

Probably not. Flash updates are usually done is maintenance releases.

But yeah I love updates especially security hopefully they can one day make flash better ****ing hate that crap even after blocking most flash stuff, sucks that you need flash for almost everything.

More updates? Is there really that much wrong with 10.6?

Standard security updates, it happens for all OS's, not just Windows.

If this was an iPhone OS update it would be Page 1 material. It wasn't that long that a Mac OS X security update (of any kind) would have generated a mile long thread. I miss those days

Yeah, I really wish they'd just leave it alone and stop improving it.

According to Charlie miller, this update fixes the jailbreakme.com PDF exploit for OSX, so a very important update indeed.

Edit: you've GOT to be kidding me. Apple is just NOW updating PHP to 5.3.2, a month after 5.3.3 is released with more security fixes and a full 5 months after 5.3.2 was released?

Has Apple ever had an up to date PHP? I thought their server stuff always lagged behind a bit.

Why does it need to update it? Adobe has already released an update to 10.1.82.76 - it can be downloaded off their website.

I downloaded the patch from CH41n$awH4x3r3s.org.

When I rebooted my computer, it now comes up with a skull and crossbones and an error message. "W3 1s 1337. ur H4x3R3d." I am not sure I got an official binary.

All the more reason to bypass Apple's installed version and use MacPorts, which is really good and staying updated with mainstream software like PHP.

It could be worse.

How dare they to fix problems.

Is that why PayPal blames Apple [iTunes] and not its customers?

I guess you haven't seen the proof of concept; Someone jumped on the bandwagon and blimey almighty does it work. Now repeat after me: "Where's the money?" Yep. That'll be iTunes and thus...

It's far too easy, almost relaxing, to point a fingers to the innocent end-user who has done nothing wrong.

But until the police actually get a grip on it... this all is speculation, until someone confesses of course.

**** PayPal. They're among the worst companies in existence. Of course they put the blame on someone else, it's NEVER their fault. Just like when dealing with customer-related situations.

How do I tell what the security update changed when installing? (I installed while I slept.) I am asking because my system seems a bit faster launching apps this morning.

That is just a side effect of the optimization process.
