I've noticed that software companies have started using the generic: "A security threat has been discovered..." scare tactic to guarantee your compliance with "upgrading" your version to the one they want you to run.
I mean really... Is it just a coincidence that they all have started using that? I mean even for programs that shouldn't be accessing the net except for these "upgrades"...
Quick Time just gave me the poke... I guess I'll have to comply...
