Mate, I’ve said this numerous times – you’re comparing apples to oranges you’re comparing one side of the industry with a constant ISA/architecture to Apple that has moved from PowerPC to Intel. But, particularly since the machine was expensive (Apple tax + integrated monitor etc made it the most expensive computer I’ve ever bought), it definitely left a sour taste and makes me think twice before getting Apple gear again. I know, I shouldn’t expect so much from Apple. I even upgraded it to Win7, and it’s working fine.

I bought a PC six months earlier, and I’m still using it. Leopard was frustratingly slow on it, many app developers shunned it quickly, and apps tended to depend on the CPU performance of Intel so even apps that “ran” didn’t work well. Almost overnight the platform became neglected. I don’t feel like I got good mileage from the machine actually it feels terrible. Personally I bought an iMac G5 right at the end of the PPC iMac’s life. IMHO the last PPC Mac shipped around 6 years ago – personally I think that is pretty damn good in my books at some point one has to throw in the towel and say, “yeap, I’ve gotten good mileage out of the machine”.

I don’t blame apple for not wanting to continue to support a six year old processor architecture which doesn’t gain them much in revenues any longer. Sometimes its bloat, sometimes its Good stuff, sometimes its cost of development. Now, from a OS developer’s perspective sometimes there are things that are beneficial that necessitate raising the hardware requirements.

My desktop upgrade cycle (from 1991 in years between upgrades 4,3,3,8. Now in the past the necessary upgrade cycles were much shorter, but recently we’ve hit a plateau where we can keep machines much longer. I mean people do that, but its a waste of money, IMHO. But this is different than just turning to a box and saying ” You’re old I’m not using you any more because of your age.”. As time progresses there are new tasks that arise that require more computational power (video editing, parallel processing expiraments, virtual machines) which cause machines to be obsoleted. You should use a system until its no longer able to do the tasks you require of it. No, I don’t support that from a consumer’s perspective. Regarding Webkit, it’ll be interesting to see whether the different parts being isolated off will result in a more secure experience as with the case of webkit2 versus webkit1 hopefully we’ll get to see some security boffins having a good hack away at it to see whether all the hard work has paid off. One thing that has surprised me is how Apple is still supporting 10.5 given how quick they are to throw the old release under the bus and push people onto the next version (especially so given the cheap price of Snow Leopard and same low price repeated again with Lion). What has always confused me is how Apple is so happy to break compatibility when it comes to adding or enhancing something but apparently it is ‘one step too far’ when it comes to breaking compatibility for the sake of security – implementing ASLR system wide has only just come to Mac OS X Lion for example, something that should have been implemented in Snow Leopard (if you’re going to break a couple of things why not go for gold and smash a few more things whilst you’re at it?). About time, considering it’s over ten years old.

Of course, this might just mean that Apple HASN’T fixed the one that allows a maliciously-crafted PDF to set your printer on fire but I hope this means that OS X is finally maturing as a secure platform. This issue is addressed through improved tracking of origins. Visiting a malicious website may lead to files being sent from the user’s system to a remote server. Impact: Visiting a malicious website may lead to files being sent from the user’s system to a remote serverĭescription: A cross-origin issue existed in WebKit’s handling of windows. To Apple’s credit, I had a quick scan through the list of fixes, and there were no thigh-slappingly-hilarious ones.

There’s normally a whole bunch of security fixes for things that you’d never believe could make it through quality assurance, such as “Entering a password with three letter A’s causes the user’s privileges to escalate” and “Guest users can use ‘cron’ to run malicious code after they’ve logged out”. Usually, looking at a list of security fixes in Mac OS X updates is like watching The Three Stooges: You laugh at all the buffoonery that’s happened.
