QuickTime in Mac OS X 10.6 has been rewritten from the ground up, so you can assume that the bugs are not the same in this version and the previous versions. If there is no bug fix for QuickTime on Mac OS X 10.6, it's because the bugs fixed on Mac OS X 10.4 and 10.5 are not present in the newest version.

I don't know much about the history of the Inquirer.net but from reading a few of its article in the last couple of weeks, i can see there is a strong anti-Apple bias from the "news" reporting here. Words like "fanboy" and "messiah" have no place in an objective atricle.

I use Windows, OS-X, Linux, and even OS/2 on a daily basis. None are "best" or "worst", or even "good" or "evil." I would expect teenage boys to feud over whose operating system is "best" -- not a news blog that seeks to be taken seriously by a wide range of readers.

I suppose you think that all of your snarky comments are cute. Unfortunately, your attempts to demean others reflect primarily back on you. By the way, have you any reports that these theoretic vulnerabilities have actually caused a problem for any Apple customers? Any at all? Isn't it nice that Apple provides fixes before any problems occur?

"THE BUILDER of high quality and totally secure products that mocks other companies for failing to meet its perfect standards has just released a number of patches to fix its flawed flagship products."

Fantastic opening paragraph there Sir, you have surpassed yourself.

Who cares -- except when it impedes honest reporting.

As true Applpostles know, the only reason bugs appeared in the holy iPhone and iPod was not that Steve Jobs was sick. No, he passed away, and has now risen again as Saint Steven! Now is the age of the second coming of our patron Saint, and all true believers should rush to the Applemart to load up on fruity trinkets, while turning their credit cards a nice apple-y shade of red. Hallelujah!

Those who have installed 10.6 (Snow Leopard) and have its Optional Quicktime 7 installed have not been updated with fixes to these problems since the fixes are only being supplied to 10.4 (Tiger) and 10.5 (Leopard) users. There is no word from Apple as to why the Bleeding Edge 10.6 users are not being updated.

It's just fantastic that Apple is releasing patches in advance of problems. No one knows about them and we can make sure we're secure. They're doing a better job than the M$ ever did.
They've got the best mp3 player and cell phone combo unit's on the market. And it makes all the haters green with envy.

Apple isn't perfect, but they're doing a great job in their market.

And I guess YOU never did.

Apple = Scientology

Evidence:
a) S. Jobs = R. Hubbard
b) Brainless accolites? On both sides of the equation
c) Brainless RICH accolites? see b)
d) Big-Brotherish behaviour? both
e) Religion status? Apple is not YET officially a religion, but it's getting there
f) Expensive? Oh yeah... both of'em!
g) I-phone = E-meter
h) Attack the Attacker? Sure.... both of 'em!

Not all of us iPod Touch/iPhone users are constantly downloading porn which would indeed lead the user into encountering those types of malicious files. I guess YOU must though...
