    January 2007 is the month picked by a pair of security researchers to feature a day-by-day bug-by-bug listing of Apple security holes. Due to start on New Years day, the two plan to post the bugs without giving advanced warning to Apple. A Washington Post article states "[W]hile [the]upcoming project had the potential to at least temporarily make security more tenuous for the average Mac user, [the researcher] believes that in the long run the project will improve OS X security." This explanation sounds like the project is more about getting page hits and less about making OS X secure.
