THE FRUIT THEMED peddler of Iphones, Jobs is probably regretting showing off the wonders of the beta version of its Facetime video chat service.
Jobs showed off the application at his Wednesday press conference to a standing ovation from the tame media present.
However according to a German magazine (http://www.macwelt.de/), the beta software has a fairly nasty security hole in it.
Macworld Germany claims that if you login to your account via Facetime for the Mac and walk away from your machine, a sneaky person can change your password without needing the old one to do it.
Having possession of an Apple password admits you into Apple's walled garden of delights where the sneak thief can do and buy everything.
Apple fanibois have been rushing to defend Apple's faith based security system. They say that it is really not a problem because no one in their right mind would leave an expensive Mac alone for the minute or so it would take to change the password.
It is, they argue, unreasonable for the security aura of Jobs to be required to protect those who are terminally stupid. Jobs probably agrees with this, which is why Apple products are always the first to be hacked in security challenges.
Others have said that it was only a beta and you get glitches with all betas.
Soon after the information was leaked, Apple Insider reported that clicking "View Account", where the Facetime password data was housed, didn't work.
It seems that Jobs' Mob has frozen the problem until it can come up with a better approach.
Still, people should get used to Jobs showing off buggy software. After all he did an entire launch demonstration with a broken Iphone 4 and had to ask people to turn their WiFi off so he could show them the gadget.
