[*]In interviews Johnny hints that there are flaws in Apples hardware too, but doesn't say it outright
[/list]
[*]Apple denies that Secureworks ever told them of any problem with their wireless drivers
[/list]
[*]Apple comes out with a patch to their wireless drivers (what a coincedence!)
[/list]
[*]Johnny says he will give a presentation about the Apple wireless exploit at Toorcon
[/list]
[*]The day before Toorcon, Johnny's company Secureworks tells him, he can't give the presentation.

Gee, I wonder what happened?
It amazes me how gullible Apple fans have been througuout this whole situation. They honestly think Securworks and Johnny Cache have made this whole thing up and Apple never did anything dishonest in the process.
Apple == Cisco, only with a massive fanboy following

If Apple "leaned on him" then why in the world would they still allow him to demonstrate the exploit at all?

He never did demonstrate the vulnerability [at blackhat] with the Mac wireless card. Instead, he used a third party card, all the while hinting at the fact that there was "more to it" than that.
