Don't know the author or the "impartial" company Secunia, but 234 minor flaws listed as "highly critical"? Most are actually in applications, not the OS. Like to see a similar count for Windows plus applications. Someone is reaching far up his posterior to pull that blog entry off.

when you need more hits, add "mac" or "apple" to your title

The author of the article does exactly what the people he cites, Secunia, say should not be done with their statistics:

"PLEASE NOTE: The statistics provided should NOT be used to compare the overall security of products against one another."

This is via a Slashdot discussion of the article:
