Worms (and bugs) in your Apple: Two security researchers, disappointed by negative reactions to their alarms about Apple security flaws, are unleashing a "month of bugs" in January to disclose flaws in OSX, QuickTime, and iTunes (hide your iPod!).

Support salve: There may be another side benefit of open source, at least from some developers' perspective: more helpful and useful support when something goes wrong. Rather than wading through phone banks and automated systems to (hopefully) find a real person who can crack open that black-box tech and fix your problem, open source puts the entire project at your feet - and usually has a community of knowledgeable sources willing to help. What do you think? Is this true or not? Drop a comment on the IT Troubleshooter blog.
