Seems the recent patches and updates to quicktime and itunes were just not quick enough :sigh: more holes have been found for itunes, quicktime

"Security researchers have discovered an unpatched vulnerability in Apple's iTunes and QuickTime software that creates an opportunity to crash browser applications. The flaw might also open up a route to inject hostile code onto vulnerable systems, though this remains unproven.

Exploitation of the flaw in either case involves tricking surfers into opening a maliciously constructed QuickTime tag contained on a web page or embedded in an MP3 and video clip file. Security clearing house US CERT rates the buffer overflow-based flaw - which affects Apple QuickTime 7.5.5 and iTunes 8.0 - as a high risk bug"

So be on the watch peeps  :(

Steve Jobs?
So he put the damn things in my lunch box  :eyebrow: on a different train of thought I wonder how he got though school intact with a name like "Jobs" if he was slightly overweight he would be" bigjobs" straight away  ;)

piece of cr@p sebby, without java and flash i cant view my favourite sites and Apple say they will not be adding it, thats great as most sites use it I mean come on a year later and still no basic net support also I send picture messages cant with iphone i can upload straight to flick have a proper version of msn messenger and proper satelite nav not a cell tower based version, also its cheaply made, drops signal as it has an outdated 3g chipset, my phone has a gpu accelerator from ati so 3d games are great, symbian is so much more flexible, the iphone is all looks bad battery life and no guts, just a pretty interface, so take that as a yes. ;D
