"Macs no longer immune to viruses, experts say".

It's one thing when Windows fails, but when your god fails . . . .

Beware of crime statistics spread by lock salesmen.

Some of the biggest problems have been CAUSED by Symantec anti-virus stuff.

MacFixit.

For years and years I was told by my grandmother that she never had to lock her front door in her small town, because she trusted that nobody would break in. However, she'd never do that in a big city like New York.

Macs are safe because they're such a tiny amount of the computer universe that it isn't worth a hacker's effort to even troll IP addresses to find one.

Is the fact that your computer is so small of the market share that hackers don't care about it really a selling point?

Yeah, it is called "The keyboards are to small, the operating system is unorganized, and the mouse is frickin' awful virus"
