Apple takes number one stop for the most bugs found in all of its products during the first half of 2010, ahead of Oracle, and Microsoft, according to Secunia."</em></p><p><img src="http://images.thoughtsmedia.com/resizer/thumbs/size/600/at/auto/1278981881.usr105505.jpg" /></p><p>I had no idea who Secunia was, so I did a little research (ie, I did a Wikipedia search). Apparently, they're a computer security firm with a reliable record in tracking down security vulnerabilities. I'm not sure that this means too much, given that Oracle, Microsoft and HP weren't trailing behind Apple by much, though I would like to see Apple take a more proactive approach when it comes to vulnerabilities patching. Now that there are more Macs out there than ever before, they might start looking like tempting targets for hackers. </p>
