Petulant Douches

Otherwise the world of the fanboy is unusually silent.

Get It

Try It

More than one freethinker in the World of Apple has remarked that although at least every third article or post these past few days is about the ARDAgent security hole there are next to no typical fanboy reactions as of yet.

There are of course a number of perfectly good explanations for this.

They're all in the head. Heaving.

Technically it's over their heads. Again.

But there are exceptions to every rule.

According to Dictionary.com:

Petulant: moved to or showing sudden impatient irritation esp. over some trifling annoyance.

So there you have it: privilege escalation to root without authentication is a 'trifling annoyance'. And if that doesn't sum up the fanboys nothing can.

And 'hjst' should have read farther on the 'about' page.

... and cursing x86 hardware all day long... credentials from the likes of British Aerospace, General Electric, Lockheed Martin, SAAB Defence Systems, IBM, Microsoft, the British Broadcasting Corporation, Barclays Bank, and Sony/Ericsson.

Stuff that in your douche and eat it, fanboy.
