If it's weeks-old news, doesn't that only make it worse that Apple still hasn't bothered to fix it?

  Whether it does or not doesn't change the fact that pro-microsoft sites and, apparently, microsoft employees are trying to deflect attention from the sidekick incident by digging up and publicizing an obscure bug in OS X. Crying "b..b..b..but Apple!" when faced with bad press rather than owning what happened might make microsoft fans feel better, but at the price of further alienating developers who see through the transparent charade.

    While it's easy and fun to assume malice behind everything Microsoft does, sometimes a cigar is just a cigar. Saying that this news (which should be spread since it can lead to quite unpleasant problems) is being promoted by Microsoft fans doesn't take away from the severity of the bug. And the fact that this news is out certainly doesn't take away from the disaster that is the Sidekick story. Take a step back and try to avoid looking at it from a "Microsoft is a bunch of evil jerks" perspective.
