Well if I'm snarky, I think it's clear who is snooty. So when mediadefender went to take down rev3 with a DoS attack, if they had been rich snobs they would have gone after only macs to set the attack up? Or would they realize that the DoS attack only works when you have a lot of machines sending data and go after the other 90% of systems out there to launch the attack? I don't have to convince anyone, it's just facts. Look at almost any security firm who measures medium to critical flaws among the os's and they all say the same thing, Apple lags far behind in fixing such flaws. They get away with it because these guys such as mediadefender need as many systems as they can get to attack. This last safari problem is a perfect example, MS was out saying they would fix the issue, Apple said we aren't fixing it. Now after some press articles and pressure from the community and MS, Apple has agreed to fix it.
