Loose electronic lips

While I love my Macintosh dearly, I still feel the need to make fun of Apple occasionally. Here's one of the bugs fixed in the latest Mac OS X Security Update:

Under certain circumstances, secure input fields may be read by VoiceOver services. This update stops VoiceOver from exposing the content of these fields. This issue does not affect systems prior to Mac OS X v10.4.
Translation: under certain circumstances, your Mac will read your password aloud even though it's hidden by little circles!

That's one serious cock-up.
