Bye Bye Quicktime

Trend says you need to remove Quicktime right now. It has two big security vulnerabilities, and Apple has abandoned it, so no new updates will be released to fix it.

I went to remove it, and was so happy that it turns out I had never installed it on the machine.
It's not me, it's someone else.

Everyone's jumping on this bandwagon, including the feds.

Must be a hell of a security flaw, which is STUNNING because I've always heard how secure and "hacker-proof" Apple products are...
(If you listen closely, you can actually hear the sarcasm dropping off that statement.)
