Oh God. The /b/tards at 4chan have got to be soiling themselves over that fiasco.  
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

By way of balance, Android marketing department (not really, don't sue me) is promoting the following link, whereby there are multiple security patches, including remote vulnerabilities, for pretty well everything from Apple...

Playing back an old december 8th 2015 message ?
...Original release date: December 08, 2015 | Last revised: December 11, 2015...
I'd rather be phishing!

Apologies, I was looking for a story reported in the last couple of days. Evidently failed. My bad.

And here's a better link - still can't find the news article I was referring to, but at least this is from the horse's mouth:
Apple security updates - Apple Support[^]

Well, I assume they have the same "base" OS security software that is applied to all their devices.
So if they update one, they update everything.

I'm confused. Do Android fanbois think Apple is perfect and never issues security updates?
I have a couple Macs, an iPhone, an iPad and an Apple TV. Each get a handful of security updates each year. Some are stand-alone security updates - others are included in feature enhanced OS updates.
There are two types of people in this world: those that pronounce GIF with a soft G, and those who do not deserve to speak words, ever.

I'm no fanbois - simply read an Android-related security post and thought I'd balance it with a similar Apple-related post.
Personally I sit in the smugness of a WinPhone user - so few of us no one can be bothered to hack it 
(A bit like Macs back in the day)

Millions of Android phones, including the entire line of Nexus models, are vulnerable to attacks that can execute malicious code and take control of core functions almost permanently, Google officials have warned. This hack brought to you by Apple's marketing team (OK, not really. Please don't sue me, nice Apple people)

Employees could be losing more than two work weeks each year trying to get their computer equipment to work. Installing a Windows update cost me two weeks of lost productivity today

I do try to be efficient like that.
But when an install keeps me away from Freecell, I get antsy.

No wonder! 
My forthcoming book, Launch Your Android App, is available for pre-sale at Amazon.com -- releases on April 1, 2016 (no joke).

Yeah, but those are Canadian weeks, you need to allow for the conversion.

Only 4% of working time lost due to IT issues. That's great.
But what happened with the remaining 96%?
|
|
|
|

And technology itself is resulting in the loss of the other 50 weeks.

In general, astronomy is reactive—we spot something unusual by chance and point as many telescopes as we can manage to try to figure out what's going on. It's rare that we have something pointing in the right direction to catch an event right as it starts. "Twinkle, twinkle little star, how I wonder what you are"

he company whose former CEO once compared open source licences like GPL to spreading tumours is now regularly open sourcing tools, components and even the occasional product, as well as coming out with more cross-platform products than ever – even for Linux.

Imagine a world in which Windows was open source. Jack Wallen believes it is now time for such a reality. As opposed to the earlier million requests that Microsoft open source Windows

Think they will also trow Office to Open Source ?
So one can put back classical menu
