I have stopped posting blog entries covering the Month of Apple Bugs and MOAB Fixes. I will let the two groups slug it off until the end of the month and see if and when Apple finally fixes these bugs.
As it is, the bugs reported so far are those from applications that are non-essential to the operation of the entire Mac OS X. I mean, it can run without Quicktime, VLC or even iPhoto’s photocasting. I am still waiting for that critical bug that can crash the OS.
As to the MOAB cause, well, personally, I’d rather that they inform Apple about the said vulnerability first before they released it – I mean, give Apple a week headstart just so they are deemed as “ethical”. Unfortunately, some camps consider the MOAB a publicity stunt crafted by these individuals.
Stunt or not, ethical or otherwise, I am glad that these bugs are being brought into the open. Whilst the fix are being released at the same rate as they’re exposed, I am wondering when Apple will finally release a statement about these bugs and the accompanying fixes. Maybe Apple is waiting for the month to end and just release on big Security Update to fix everything.
