Apple has another security issue

Text bomb, text bomb, you’re a text bomb

The brilliant programmers at Apple who have all sorts of problems getting a clock to tell the time have delivered an operating system which can be switched off with a text.

The feature affecting Apple's iPhone and Mac computers means your friend can send you a text which, if you click, will automatically switch off your super-expense shiny toy. Who would not want such a feature on their phone?

The fact that Apple has not told anyone about this feature is a clear sign it's only available for special fanboys – after all, it could not mean that Apple was too incompetent to do a decent Q&A would it?
