Umm yes they are. 90% of security experts agree, in security competitions it is Apple that always falls first.

That's because it's a headline when a Mac is compromised. Nobody gives a damn when Windows is compromised quickly -- it's not news. Duh.

Please don't be so superficial -- I'm sure you know that the speed with which an exploit runs has nothing whatsoever to do with the difficulty. All the exploits are pre-scripted and rehearsed long in advance of the so-called competition. And knowing that headlines are about Macs, of course they attack the Mac first.

Those so-called competitions are nothing but trumped-up ad campaigns for the tech journals who sponsor them. Regardless of the outcome, they're just a bad joke. And boring, boring, boring...
