Joking:What another security fix for the perfect OS what happened?
End Joking:They fix some problems that is good. But were are all the people that complain about windows Patches? Not that I am saying there is anything wrong with OS X Patches. Just they have been patching alot more latly, Even iTunes has had severly security patches. WHat happened?

theres a difference... I'm not a mac fanboy but windows patches are usually security. I love the feeling of installing a service pack and getting some cool features to mess with. But secrity fixes are a waste of time. Mac patches are usually adding new features and fixing holes that are nearly impossible to exploit. They patch more to look like theyre protecting their users. And they patch quickly they dont set a patch tuesday, they do it whenever they want.

Well just download this update and I see they still have not fixed the problem I found months ago. I can still write a script or wigit(what ever you call it) that resets the admin password to "blank" and then deletes all the extensions out without rebooting the machine. O Well maybe their next patch will fix this. :(

The question is: Can you run this script on *my* computer?

he doesn't necissarily have to. I was chatting with someone the other night that said how he exploited on windows, i'm sure same applies for mac or linux or..
he created a website with content to the type of "download this game hack" or cheats or whatever. He said that a few hundred had downloaded it.
