- iamshs 13y agoAnd what about Google's dismissive attitude here? The same attitude that Tavis got fed up of. The motive was to highlight just that. Tavis bashed MS because he was riled up by their attitude, because maybe culture at Google was different regarding patching critical bugs and moved fast. Well then, look no further than Tom's post. Tom was dealt with nearly same manner as Tavis says his ordeal was. Tavis immediately went ahead with publishing the exploit, but Tom but gave them 2 weeks, even after persistently demonstrating the criticality of the exploit. Culture inside corporations is very different than outward facing one. Facebook's behavior recently could be excused partly due to poor wording (though onus was on FB), but what is the explanation here?
