The new BlackBerry Passport is making waves and has sold over 200,000 units in two days. The Passport also sold out in 6 hours on BlackBerry’s website and within 10 hours on new partner Amazon.com according to CEO John Chen.

The Passport, which integrates a 4.5-inch square mutl-touch screen with a three row capaciive QWERTY keyboard, is focused on productivity and the enterprise but has also stoked the interest of longtime BlackBerry loyalists who have been waiting for a modern and competitive BlackBerry smartphone to replace older models.

Apple clarifies take on "Shellshock" bash bug

Apple has reached out to clarify that most Mac OS X users are safe from the circulating bash bug exploit also known as "Shellshock."

"The vast majority of OS X users are not at risk to recently reported bash vulnerabilities. Bash, a UNIX command shell and language included in OS X, has a weakness that could allow unauthorized users to remotely gain control of vulnerable systems.

So there you have it, nothing to worry about unless you're deep into UNIX.
