The newest updates of
the Macintosh operating system will make sure that all the versions of Java be
removed from the system. Apple Inc.(NASDAQ:AAPL) made this announcement on
Friday. Apple, on the official support site revealed that Java script will be
removed from their native operating systems, since experts have recently
discovered that the Java bugs help attackers infiltrate the security of the
system and get information. This discovery was made in August, when the experts
had conducted the experiment by launching attacks through the bugs found in
Java. They were successful.
As soon as the news
became widespread, and it was proven that Java bugs could indeed help breach
security, Oracle fixed it, but the fixing took a lot of time, and the update
released to remove or to deal with these bugs came many days after this
information about the bugs. If customers want to avail of the services of Java,
they can always approach oracle directly for help on this front.
Java is a very popular
programming language because of its universal compatibility. Programmers rely
heavily on the Java Script because the codes which they make through this
script will run on any machine, and on any operating system. The content which
the developers and programmers make can be viewed on multiple browsers, and
Windows Mac, as well as Linux, all accepts the language, but it looks like Mac
is slowly going to back off. Despite the fact that the Java script is enabled
in almost all the devices such as the computers, the tablets, smartphones, and
Blue Ray players, Apple will soon beg to differ. About nine million developers
work for Oracle, and the Java Script, making it a huge community for the task
of developing.
Apple wants to remove
itself from the Java script, and this is not a sudden decision, even though the
bugs in Java were reported recently. Almost two years ago, both the companies
had known that Apple would be removing Java from its software base. In 2010,
Apple had removed the use of Flash, on the grounds that it was a closed system,
and because it was manned by the singular Adobe.
Congrats, Mac users. Soon all you'll have left with your Mac is a pretty glossy screen with one icon on it.
ReplyDeleteFirst Apple goes after Flash, then Java, resists other universal standards tooth and nail....fantastic company
