Apple has thrown a bone to Mac owners left unprotected against the Flashback malware family — but only some of those users will be getting help. On Monday, Apple quietly released two security updates for Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard, a nearly five-year-old release that Apple had otherwise abandoned.

After a month of rumors and speculation , Sprint has finally announced that the HTC EVO 4G LTE will go on sale May 18 th . The HTC EVO 4G LTE can be pre-ordered directly from Sprint, but Best Buy is offering customers a $50 Best Buy gift card if you pre-order the handset from them.

The handset is powered by a dual-core 1.5 GHz Qualcomm processor and contains a 720p HD display,1GB of RAM, 16GB of storage, a dedicated ImageChip used for the 8MP rear camera and a 2,000 mAh battery.
