Apple security blunder exposes Lion login passwords in clear text

[HotelUser]

I see you've got a job mucking out the Apple stables Do you want a silver sword to go with your shield, Oh Apple knight in shining armour? Also, your example of IE and Microsoft is pretty lousy - first, you can use a different browser, and Microsoft doesn't call their users stupid for using IE, it's more self-inflicted and closer to home. Secondly, Microsoft tend to make it so their OS' do not do stupid things, like delete all user data after an update OR expose passwords. Besides, what I said was a joke but I guess Apple zealots can't take them and only exist to defend their religion.

That's not stupid, that's just careless and unwise - huge differences. Stupid is making it so IE9 gives out your details in a simple format, or delete everything on your Windows RT device. What they've done here is stick their fingers up at the competition, while at the same time made their product appear undesirable to those who may think IE9 is terrible. Besides, IE9 for Windows ARM devices may actually be very good - tailored for the device - isn't it usually you who touts "You must try it before criticising it?"

Windows 8 will ship with IE10.

If security exploits are acts of stupidity then Microsoft is incredibly stupid by your definition (and if I were to find a list of all Microsoft's security exploits it would be absolutely massive as would any major software companies really).

You also brought up IE and it speaks for itself why IE is stupid so I'm not going to bother explaining it in my post.

Windows 8 will ship with IE10.

Automatic updates IE10? Excellent news, the entire industry will benefit from this.

Just pointing out...

By default, the Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) is not enabled on any Windows operating system. Systems that do not have RDP enabled are not at risk.

Microsoft is so cheap they don't even give their home users RDP in the first place.

Why does a non-technical home user need RDP? The point in providing home editions is that consumers aren't paying for features they're simply not going to use. Of course, including RDP in a home edition would be an extremely stupid security mistake, considering the ridiculous passwords most users use and the ease of brute force attacks.

I'm done with you, you're always right in your little world x

A lot of the time they don't need it, and my little world is awesome.

And if they really wanted it then I'm sure they would get the version that has it included.
