Apple says "We don't like it so you can't use it!"
Google says "We don't like it so we will not distribute it. You're of course free to get it elsewhere."
Big difference. Huge actually.

It's funny to see the windows people taking such satisfaction in Linux bugs and completely disregard the time it takes from disclosure to a fix is available. Usually I've already installed the fixed version before I read about it on slashdot. It's just a matter of subscribing to my distro's security announcement mailinglist and upgrade if I run the affected software.
So in most cases, when i read about bad bugs in Linux it's 'old news'.

(Blatantly ignoring the six years it took to actually get the fix into the kernel this time)

I had such a site on Geocities. Flashing gifs, blink tags, a horrible MIDI playing in the background with no way of turning it of. Blue text on pink background and, naturally, CometCursor.
And of course no meaningful content what so ever.

Innocent times...

Just undoing an accidental trollmod :)

This is just sad. An article about a group actually called Goatse and this is the FP you manage to come up with? Tsk tsk...

Don't they ever get tired of throwing these numbers around? And do anyone believe them?

If those numbers were even close to be real they would have managed to stop piracy long ago. I mean, who in their right mind will sit and idly watching billion after billion trickling out of their wallet and all they manage to come up with is some bizarre DRM schemes that never works. One would think that with such amount of money involved investing more in stopping piracy should be well worth it. Say a billion dollars or so.

It's all BS. We know it and they know it.
