"With Apple's announcement Monday that it shipped 1.12 million iPhones in the three months after its launch, the gadget's apparent popularity rivals some PCs. That has security experts warning of trouble, following revelations that Apple built the iPhone's firmware on the same flawed security model that took rival Microsoft a decade to eliminate from Windows."
The design in question was actually well known to be bad even way back when Microsoft did it, at least among grown up engineers, in the UNIX world. I'm rather astonished that such errors would turn up again in this context. Apple has typically been smarter than that.
