As the publishing and printing sector wained I moved into Internet Marketing and in 2006 co-founded which grew to become one the top 200 visited sites in the US (according to Quantcast), at its peak receiving over 15 million visits per month. I've been a passionate evangelist for Apple and the Macintosh throughout my working life, my first love was a Quadra 605 working with a small creative agency in the south of Norfolk UK in the mid 1990's, I later progressed to other roles in other Macintosh dominated industries, first as a Senior graphic designer at a small printing company and then a production manager at Guardian Media Group. According to an Apple representative, however, the company’s latest updates for OS X and macOS do not contain Intel’s defective code and should therefore not cause this type of rebooting problem. In related news, at the start of this week Intel cautioned users not to install the latest fixes for Spectre and Meltdown, because these patches could result in computers rebooting without warning.
These two operating systems of courses preceded the latest macOS High Sierra which was released during the autumn of 2017.Īlthough the company already issued a patch for High Sierra to protect it against Spectre and Meltdown attacks a while ago, this week the company also issued a new update for that particular version of macOS which addresses the issue that makes it vulnerable to exploits of both these types of attacks. This is after Apple released updates for two of its older operating systems yesterday, namely OS X El Capitan and MacOS Sierra. Readers who own an Apple Mac running on an older version of the company’s operating system are now able to download a software patch that promises to protect their computers against the dreaded Spectre and Meltdown attacks.
