Apple's SSL problem may explain 100% success rate for hack/gov't

[gunslinger]

are you freaking kidding me....$750 and $800. For someone to actually pay that for a 5 year old machine is absurd. (and before you reply, yes I read it, you got it for free). betting it cost them next to nothing.
That cost is just nuts.

When you consider the machine cost $2,800 new and still sells for $1,500 it is what it is. I didn't have to pay that so no worries.

What repairs did they do?

Just goes to show nothing is 100% secure all the time.

This one is really bad, though. GnuTLS is one of the two big open source SSL/TLS implementations, the other being OpenSSL. It's used in a wide variety of applications, not to mention most Linux distributions. This particular has been around since 2005. Ouch.
