Here’s another blow to those insist that Apple products are rock solid and unhackable: The security company Secunia reports that Apple products have more vulnerabilities than those of any other company. Oracle came in second place, with Microsoft in third.
Secunia just issued a report that covers vulnerabilities for the first half of 2010, and it’s not good news for Apple. The report (which you can download here) shows that Apple last had the most vulnerabilities of all vendors in 2005, before Oracle took over the top spot. And now Apple is on top again. You can see the chart, below.

Bloomberg Business Week claimed yesterday that a Senior Engineer at Apple had warned them about the antenna issues during the design phase of the iPhone 4 almost an year back. Jobs was more excited about the antenna and ignored the warning. Now, a company spokesperson told the Wall Street Journal that the allegations were “simply not true”.
The quote from WSJ reads:
We challenge Bloomberg Business Week to produce anything beyond rumors to back this up. It’s simply not true.
This reminds me one of the many brilliant lines from Simpsons:
I didn’t do it. Nobody saw me do it. You can’t prove anything.
When Apple chief executive Steve Jobs introduced iOS4, he said this: "When it comes to multitasking, if a user has to use a task manager, they (the developer) blew it." I suppose Jobs was referring to Windows Task Manager, which you use when all hell breaks loose on a PC. But taken literally, iOS4 has a task manager too, and all hell breaks lose if you don’t use it. This time, Apple blew it.
Looks like iPhone 4 recall may be around the corner but will Apple budge? The antenna issue has caused a huge roar among the consumers. Also, Apple (AAPL) share price has taken a dive with the rumors of iPhone 4 recall and hardware issues. Hit the source link and read all about it.
CosumerReports conducts series of tests on the iPhone simulating different real life conditions and confirms that iPhone 4 has serious flaw in the antenna.

comScore Report for May 2010 shows the rise and fall of numbers in the smartphone market in US. While RIM still holds the ground by having the major share of the pie, Android seems to be on the rise. The rest are more or less the same. With the introduction of new high-end phones like Incredible, EVO, DroidX and GalaxyS in this and the next quarter and with Froyo on the way, this will surely be going up for the coming months. If Android is able to retain the same growth rate, Android will easily surpass the Apple numbers by Q1 2011. As Microsoft’s Windows Phone 7 will be released in October, it might get more interesting.
