Re: Who ever said life was supposed to be fair?

Apple had plenty of time to patch it before these guys were going to go live with the flaw. Sometimes the only way to get a company like to "do the right thing" is to shame them into doing it.

So?

Nobody likes having their hand forced. Individual or corporation. I am not saying Apples actions are right. I think...Predictable fits this scenario though.

They took a swing at Apple, Apple swung back. What did they expect?

The guys went after someone with deep pockets.

Do so at your own risk.
