1984 Ad integrated into Hillary Obamized ad

I saw the 1984 Ad integrated into Hillary Obamized ad on TV on 3/20/2007
While most of the talk is about politcal stuff like in this url below, what I found that CNN and Loud Dobbs were mostly talking about this ad as more copyright infringement- interesting
The ad has Hillary on the big screen as 1984 overlord. The women hurls the sledgehammer at the screen and it explodes . A big O then appears in multicolored old Apple colors.
Creative I think. It will be interested to find out who will claim authorship

Apple on- put it directly to your forehead Apple megapatch plugs 45 security holes

Apple megapatch plugs 45 security holes
Apple issued a security update for its Mac OS X to plug 45 security holes, including several zero-day ...


The megapatch is the seventh Apple security patch release in three months. It deals with vulnerabilities in Apple's own software, as well as third-party components such as Adobe Systems' Flash Player, OpenSSH and MySQL. Sixteen of the vulnerabilities addressed by the update were previously released as part of two high-profile bug-hunting campaigns.
The vulnerabilities pose varying risks to Macs. Several of the flaws could be exploited to gain full control over a Mac running the vulnerable component, according to Apple's advisory
See all stories on this topic. Other holes are limited and could only be exploited to crash a Mac or used by somebody who already has access to a machine to elevate privileges, for example.
One focus of the patch is to fix eight vulnerabilities in the way Mac OS X handles disk images, files that when opened appear as a drive within the Macintosh Finder

BOSTON: After years of delays and billions in development and marketing efforts, it would seem that Microsoft would want anyone who possibly can to buy its new Windows Vista operating system. Yet Microsoft is making it hard for Mac owners and other potentially influential customers to adopt the software.
