blooming hell :eek: I can't remember the last time there was this many updates for an OS. not looking forward to turning my mac on tonight :mad:
 
Updates are a good thing, also good thing is no one used this holes to make a malware :) they fixed these holes before that...
I updated my mac with no problems...
 
yeah, a majority of those seem to ne "non apple" products like apache and stuff, but nonetheless, more fixes :)

I'm gonna have a lot of updating to do, my leopard install Is still straight off the DVD LOL!
 
It's about time they fixed emacs! My C++ teacher was adamant on using emacs on his Mac for presentations, and we would usually end up spending half the class or more waiting for him to fix it. :banghead: Thankfully I'm not a computer engineer anymore :laugh:
 
Rush will be happy now.

LOL! That guy pisses me off...I wish I had a radio show so I could complain about every name brand product I own on the air so the company will be forced to fix it for free.
