Even the US government warns Apple's video player is unsafe. Also, say goodbye to your iTunes Allowance, and OS X may soon become MacOS.

If Apple is abandoning QuickTime for Windows, you should, too.

The US Department of Homeland Security is warning people to uninstall QuickTime for Windows because of a hacking threat. Why? Security experts say Apple is not patching the problem. Meanwhile, Apple is cutting off your iTunes Allowance, and Apple may also change the name of its desktop operating system. But Apple has bigger issues to worry about in the next few days:

I have toyed with getting a Mac. I did during the Vista fiasco and the Win 8 fiasco but Apple's business practices IMO are less than honorable. I don't have Quicktime but Flash can be a memory hog.

Thanks for the heads up.

Done did that ages ago. I also got rid of my IPhone and went with a Windows Lumia phone. Nice.

My son spent big bucks for his Mac 2 years ago, it lasted barely over one year before the MB crapped out. Now he uses a Surface pro. And is also a contractor working at Microsoft keeping Exchange Servers tuned right.

Apple products are turning sour. Stocks are ready to crap out also.
