And what sad state is that? The state in which there are practically no known major security problems with Mac OS X? Maybe it's good to show that Mac OS X is not rock solid, but this isn't the way.

How the hell is a software developer supposed to fix a bug if he
doesn't know it exists? There has been zero indication that these bugs have been reported to the appropriate channels. Did you read the FAQ from the guy that's doing this?

Rarely, the point is releasing them without vendor notification. Although, sometimes we may decide to pass an issue through the appropriate people.

Month of Apple Bugs is fucked up beyond all words. This would be just as wrong if it were aimed at Microsoft or
any other developer. No responsible person with a grain of integrity would just publicly announce security holes and exploits.
This is Internet whoring at its lowest.

What on earth are you talking about? Virtually all commercial operating systems from the past thirty years have included some functionality to wipe the hard drive. Or are you suggesting a computer should just arbitrarily erase itself after a few years like some sort of ticking time bomb? And what does that have to do with the Month of Apple Bugs?
