Apple users have been updating their software to close a
security hole which could, in theory, expose their computers
to attack. On Friday, Apple warned of a flaw in its Safari
web browser which could allow malicious code to be run on a
machine without a user's permission. But security firm
Secunia said there were still what it called "critical"
holes in the OS X operating system.

I've just put a helmet on top of mine so I'm
completely safe.

Not only that, but I download the bugger on a reasonably
regular basis

:Windows security
fiascos though.

Well, to be fair, you overtrimmed.
It said "Windows security fiascos", which are a subset of
"Windows fiascos".
And that's a tautology, not an oxymoron.
Now visualising the release of Microsoft Fiasco 2.6

Sigh. Believe me, there's plenty of *completely* clueless
linux users out there. I should know. We have enough of them
wanting to run their own web servers.
PHP security anyone? There's an oxymoron for you.
MS is bad, but most of the rest are as bad. That apple bug
was very poor - it's a straight out of MS's book thing. Too
much automation = security flaw.
