Intel Macs using wi-fi internet

If you're offered an Airport software update, you might want to view it with some caution...

It's a security update, and it's impressive stuff (

). In fact, it's so secure that it actually stops people's wi-fi connections working. Well, if you can't connect, you can't get hacked, right? Yeah, right.

After a bit of digging around the Apple forums, and dodging various Apple fanboys proclaiming with religious zeal that it can't possibly be the Mighty Apple's fault (they are after all God, and don't make mistakes

You have now been warned.

Down boys

I haven't installed this yet, and I think I may wait.

Why would a mac need a security update in the first place? After all they're immune form viruses and totally unhackable

They've all got at least two buttons now! Go away!

Mine's got seven!

Mine's got five, but then it's shared with three PCs as well as the Mac, and isn't an Apple mouse at all.
