Sarcasem>This is definitely the end of Apple computer. Apple fan boys thought that OSX was secure and now we know it is full of holes. It will be a matter of weeks before OSX is overrun with viruses and all Apple users will have to switch to windows to get work done. With the second security problem this week (bluetooth hole) it is obvious that this is the tip of the iceberg and that the tidal wave of viruses, malware, and trojan horses are on their way.

Finally the computer world can unify behind Windows -- a secure, fast, and reliable operating system. This will be the end of overpriced computers that are only sold to rich people that have virtually no software to run.

Time to short Apple stock!</Sarcasem

This is the dumbest "virus" I've ever heard of. If it requires the user to accept the incoming bluetooth transfer, and since bluetooth requires the devices to be within several feet of each other to make a connection, how practical is this? Not very. Even if it didn't require user intervention, it wouldn't spread very far, if at all. Everybody in the mainstream tech press has been frothing at the mouth now that they think they can finally say "MAC OS X HAS A VIRUS!! MAC USERS ARE JUST AS VULNERABLE AS WINDOWS USERS! FEAR!! PANIC!! DREAD!!!!!"
