That is absolutely unacceptable...

The Church of Apple does not tolerate the public airing of its dirty
laundry. One cannot stain Apple's public image like that. It just isn't
done.  To repent for your sin, you must go to an Apple place of worship
(Apple Store) and buy at least one MacBook :-)


One has to wonder if the researchers used the correct method to submit
their bug report. But either way, that doesn't make Apple look good.


I can understand HP not haveing money/resources to fix serious flaws in
POP/IMAP/XDM for VMS, it isn't their core product.

But for Apple, they send out new patches almost weekly, so there is no
excuse for not fixing such an apparently easy bug.
