Nov. 2, 2007 - "Apple has released software updates to fix the problem of the latest iMacs freezing up during normal use. The updates, released Thursday, are recommended for 20-inch and 24-inch models with 2.0 GHz and 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processors and with the 2.8 GHz Core 2 Extreme processor. The name of the updates, which are on Apple's Web site, are Software Update 1.3* for Leopard, the latest version of Mac OS X; and Software Update 1.2** for Leopard's predecessor Tiger. Apple acknowledged in early October that it had received complaints about iMacs freezing up suddenly and becoming unusable. Users had to reset the machines to bring them back to life. The iMacs affected by the problem were introduced in August, along with new versions of Apple's iLife and iWork software suites... Apple is advising customers to update their machines either through the company's automatic update mechanism or a download from the Web site... Last month, the company posted a fix on its Web site for a serious flaw that caused its Mac computers to seize up when users attempted to upgrade to Leopard***, officially known as OS X 10.5. Leopard was released Oct. 26..."

20 January 2010 - "... Security update 2010-001, the first from Apple this year, is noticeably smaller than the monster issued last November that fixed almost 60 flaws, er, different levels of perfection. For those who have a little difficulty reading Apple's security updates the phrase "may lead to arbitrary code execution" is Apple's way of saying, "This flaw is so critical that it will wipe your hard-drive, melt your face, cause the return of the Cold War and lead to mass global extinction of the human race unless the patch is installed." The problem is that Apple can't bear to use the term 'critical vulnerability' and admit it can be used by attackers to hijack a Mac because its marketing machine insists that only happens to computers made by other people..."
