Will Apple Patch Lion Password Vulnerability?

Nah, they'll never patch it.
Seriously, what do you think?

I have mixed thoughts. On one hand I'd like to think they would have patched this already.

On the other hand when a company like Apple has such a long track record of silence and a somewhat casual approach to certain issues, it makes one wonder what they're thinking.

One cornerstone of a highly respected company is speed of implementation.

Failing to demonstrate a sense of urgency, deflates their image.

I've never got the impression that Apple neglected to push a software patch in order to save face. They frequently (or as frequently as necessary) send out security updates.

I doubt Apple needs neither your help maintaining their image, nor your half-baked analysis.

Of even greater interest is how long this thread has been up, with next to no responses.

That fact reflects the overall lack of concern about security, in the Apple community.

A demonstration of the freedom from scrutiny & healthy scepticism when it comes to Apple.

Some might say it's a double standard. Apple gets a pass on security within the Apple community vs others who don't.

It's good to be Apple these days :)
