rgraham writes "Apple has release a new security update for the Safari cookie bug. 'Security Update 2003-12-05 updates Safari to prevent unauthorized access to a user's cookies.' They also updated the article on how to 'Configure Directory Access to Protect Your Mac From a Malicious DHCP Server.'" We posted that the other day, but this time, pictures!

Along with this update, Steve Jobs announced today that OS 10.3.2 will include a small globe icon that will appear next to your system clock, helpfully reminding you that you have an update to install. While Jobs did acknowledge the fact that this feature has been in another operating system for years, he did point out that Apple's implementation will harness the power of Quartz Extreme to render fully three-dimensional, alpha-blended "Security Gnomes" that run around and patch your system twice a week. I'll still never Switch back though ;)

Don't bother. The handwriting recognition sucks. ;)

So you should...toss your cookies? Oh, stop. It was funny. (in my head, at least.)

Just reboot. With the uptime I get from OS X Panther these days, it's probably not a bad idea to reboot every now and then. Everyone needs a good nose blow occasionally; picking alone just won't do it.
