  • Hacker who targeted celebrity Apple and Google accounts sentenced six months in prison

    "Helton said he regrets his actions, explaining that a bipolar disorder triggered the phishing attack. Court documents show Helton has been in treatment for the mental disorder since his arrest."

    Like that doesn't sound 'convenient'?

    Let's blame a medical condition that you only start treatment for after you have been caught.

    He should have got a stronger sentence IMHO. Not much of a disincentive to others is it really...

    Who is James Pinkstone and why is he getting special treatment from Apple?
    "Pinkstone" was the project Jason Bourne was part of.
    You mean "Treadstone" of course? :)

    I genuinely can't remember the last time something went wrong with my Mac.
    Really? What a short memory people seem to have.

    Only the other day Apple issued a silent update that broke Ethernet connectivity for many of us Mac users and in fact a couple of articles down you will see it reported.

    Apple is more than capable of introducing bugs as much as the next software manufacturer and I for one see little difference between Apple & Microsoft these days with regard to software stability coming from either company.

    Now bugs as virii on the other hand...well that's another matter but lets not lose sight of the fact that there have been many software issues that Apple themselves have caused.

    I mean for me Search in Notes that has worked without problems has now reached a point where it will not find something that I can see in the first few lines in a list and don't get me started on keyboard shortcuts that don't propagate correctly between my Mac, MacBook Pro & MacBook Air let alone iPhone, iPad etc.

    There are many, many more.
