Apple will always let me know about something new in iTunes but won't e-mail me about a critical security update. I check it every day but then again I am paranoid.

The Apple user that the Mac OS is supposed to target is clueless about these threats and need to be informed.

Security is the most important thing when it comes to IT security, and this is where Mac should have invested more money. Yes, OS X is more secure then XP -- but this doesn't give them right ignore all the security holes and not providing any support ontime.

Steve Jobs, neither heaven nor hell wants him...hell wants peace too..

Apple put the BIND -P1 versions in a previous update. So the article's subtitle is wrong.

This latest security update includes the -P2 release. There is no security difference between the two, just a performance improvement. Anyone affected by the performance problems of the -P1 release has already found another solution, such as manually updating to a -P2 or beta release, from source code.

Seriously, who would run serious Internet-facing services on a Mac? How many NS boxes are out there that actually run a Mac OS? I'd be amazed if it cracks 1%.

"Security is the most important thing when it comes to IT security"

Tautology much?

Apple has a security email list available, "security-announce", among many other mailing lists available from apple.com, as soon as security updates are offered emails are posted on it. Apple is very tardy at security fixes, but let's criticize them for actual failings rather than imagined failings, OK?
