New and Noteworthy: Apple security scares - fact or FUD?; Aperture 1.1 reviewed

Apple security scares - fact or FUD? Macworld UK rightly reports that security firms are making a big deal about very little at all, when it comes to Mac security. "A report on Business Week looks at the recent furore around Mac security, and dismisses much of the currently circulating reports of fear, uncertainty and doubt for what they are: FUD. It takes a close look at this week's claims by security 'experts' at the SANS Institute, who claimed that Apple's reputation for offering an safe alternative was in "tatters". The report goes on to examine all the recent Apple security scares, all of which it rates as mild at best." More.

Aperture 1.1 reviewed Creative Mac reviews Aperture 1.1, noting its substantial improvements over the 1.0 release. "Not to say that Aperture is, at version 1.1, a perfect application. But the improvement from 1.0.1 to 1.1 is dramatic. And, with the price reduction, it makes it a much more viable option for those who are looking for a professional raw image editor and photo management tool." More.
