Umbrellas

Techworld:

Apple, despite the trenchant support of its users, has now been accused by three highly respected security companies of knowingly downplaying critical security holes in its software […]

Among these three companies are Intego and @stake (they don’t tell the name of the third one). These might well be highly respected security companies, I agree, but only because they sell highly respected security products, not because they give accurate and disinterested information on security issues.

Do you trust an umbrella merchant that tells you, under a bright sun, that it’s going to rain in the afternoon?

Do not meddle in the affairs of Coding Ninjas, for they are subtle and quick to anger.
