Month of Bugs

The month of January has been declared the Month of Apple Bugs by security researcher Kevin Finisterre and Madonna-wannabe LMH.

LMH won't give any other identification, which allows people with good imaginations and too much free time to speculate what LMH might stand for.

Little Maggot Hacker is my default, until I read one I like better.

Anyway, LMH is behind an effort to produce a previously undocumented Apple bug a day through the Month of January. Kevin and LMH have opined that tweaking all those smug Mac users will somehow improve Mac security in the long haul. Good thinking. Kind of like putting two-by-fours with nails through them in your driveway to improve your tires.

Mac users have demonstrated that they are idiots by buying a system that works more reliably and has less malware written for it. Further, after buying a system that works more reliably and has less malware written for it, they have the unmitigated gall and poor sportsmanship to announce that they have a system that works more reliably and has less malware written for it. Then they go so far as to suggest to others that they buy a system that works more reliably and has less malware written for it. Bastards.

I predict – based on a proprietary formula involving cosines, vincula, natural logarithms, and the volume of an average bathtub in milliliters – that for every Apple bug Kevin and LMH document, ten undocumented pieces of malware will be released into the wild for XP and Vista.

I further predict that LMH will be really distracted in January if both of his friends and Kevin start calling him Little Maggot Hacker.
