I admit, it can be a toss-up. *grin*

Most telling for the chinese though is if a virus or backdoor is discovered (usually by the 'nix crowd since the macophiles are usless for things like this) you can wipe it and have it secure again fairly quickly, unlike the US alphabet agencies who would most probably respond by kicking in your door in the middle of the night and shooting your dog(s) and then arresting you.

Unless you were a muzzie, arabic, related to the clintons or mrs bill (or eric-the-with-holder), or: one of the Sons Of Barak's (SOB's).

Or gay, if Barky found out.

Oh? Really? Were you aware that 98% of the malware for mobile devices is for Android, a 'nix derivative. The other 1.9% is for Symbian and Mobile Windows Phone and RIM. . . with iOS, a subset of UNIX, bringing up the final 0.1% and that is only for JAILBROKEN iPhones? And you think that "Macophiles are useless for things like this" do you? What about these Macophiles?

This image shows Curiosity's Entry, Descent and Landing (EDL) "war room" and its staff. On the night of Aug. 5, 2012 PDT (early morning Aug. 6 EDT), 34 engineers gathered in this room at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, Calif., to support the landing with their personal computers.

Curiosity Mars Lander Control Room. . . also with their personal Mac computers.

Of course, these Macophiles couldn't be bothered to look for discovering backdoors into their devices. . . they are too busy doing real work rather than doing "things like this."

Not to mention forever marketing overpriced by at least 2x machines that continually lag behind others in the market.

Apple MacPro — base price $2999 — Complete specifications

Please, Utilizer, tell me what computer is ½ the cost of this Apple MacPro computer that is also far ahead of it? Make sure you make an effort to match your components as closely as possible. This is a workstation grade machine, not a bottom of the barrel computer. It uses an Intel XEON™ grade processor and comes with 12GBs of 1866GH DDR3 ECC RAM as well as a high end SSD. . . and has the ability to connect 39 external devices at 20GB/sec transfer rate as well as three 4K displays, or six 2560 X 1600 simultaneous displays through dual AMD FirePro 300 graphic cards with 2GB of GDDR5 SDRAM each providing 2 Teraflops each of computing power. Oh, it also comes with a complete suite of software, including Apple's word processor Pages, spreadsheet Numbers, and Keynote presentation software. . . all of which are MS Office file read/write compatible. . . plus the entire suite of software in OSX.9 Mavericks. This computer can also run every version of Windows and Linux. It is a fully certified POSIX compliant, UNIX™ and can run all that software, out of the box. Oh, and under load its sound level is under 10 Decibels according to Ars Technica's review. Anything you come up with should be able to do all that as well.
