Adobe and Apple - what the heck?!
28 June 2008, 11:55
I'm losing my patience over Adobe and Apple. I guess there is not a single month in which an Adobe app needs a security patch. You can pick - one week is the Flash player, another week is the pdf reader, another week Flash again - this is probably the most patched application in the history of software development!
Apple's Quicktime is almost the same!
There's simply no patience for this, not anymore!<

and yet they blame Microsoft for being insecure, oh the irony... <

I guess you need to write your own bug-free applications then :) <

Not really, but pdf reader, flash plug in and quick time are removed for good. I won't install them again.<

It's unfortunate that bugs are a fact of computer programs that will never go away. What's a real problem is bugs that affect security and are not repaired by the vendor in a timely manner.

Well, what you wrote is obviously correct, but I find it hard to understand that security bugs keep popping up, with such frequency in the same application. I had to replace the flash pluggin at least 4 or 5 times (same with PDF Reader) since I installed Secunia's Personal Software Inspector and the scenario with Quick Time is only marginally better. You'd expect that after a couple security bugs, they'd look at it seriously and if they did that, it doesn't really show.<
