Apple has recently rolled out security fixes which will help iTunes and QuickTime software users stay safe from malicious attacks, coming in the form of iTunes 8.2 and QuickTime 7.6.2 updates respectively. These fixes will do away with vulnerabilities found in Mac (MacOS X 10.4 and 10.5) and Windows (XP and Vista) versions of the software, numbering 10 in total which could enable a hacker to remotely execute code on an infected system. Out of the ten, eight of these problems target both versions, while two of them are Windows-only. You can get these updates via the Apple download site or Apple Software Update.

Apple Inc: Apple Inc was founded in 1976 by Steve Jobs, Steve Wozniak and Ronald Wayne as a computer company wich is often credited to have initiated personal computing. After a meteoric rise in the 80s, Apple had lost the personal computing battle against Microsoft and others in the 90s. But in the late 90s and early 2000s, the company came back to profitability by focusing on less products and started using industry-standard components. Apple's largest business is now in the smartphone space, with the iPhone representing more than half of the revenues and an even larger part of the profits.
