    Apple has recently released a Mac update for OS X Lion and Mountain Lion that removes its Java plugin from all OS X browsers. If you install the update, you'll find a region labeled "Missing plug-in" in place of a Java applet; of course, Apple can't stop you from clicking on it to download a Java plug-in directly from Oracle. The Cupertino-based company had previously halted pre-installing Java in OS X partially due to the exploitable factors of the platform, so this update signifies further distancing from Larry Ellison's pride and joy.

    Time to fire up the 'ole Software Update as Apple has just released a Java update for Mac OS X. This update will fix vulnerabilities in both server and client versions of 10.4. Apple explains that, 'A malicious webpage can remove or insert items in the keychain,' which sure doesn't sound good to us. If you are running Tiger client or server, you can download the update using either Software Update or by getting it at Apple's website. Thanks to everyone who sent this in.
