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...
It’s a headline because Apple believers believe they are more secure because of their OS and system not because of the marketplace. Which is what he says. Don’t be upset at the truth. Apple is in an enviable position. They don’t need to be overly concerned over security or patching holes for hundreds of thousands of drivers like truly open hardware systems. THe ecosystem is so tight and narrow and the market so small on the global scale for Apple that security is almost guaranteed by its obscurity, The hackers and others gleefully point out that it is a false security.
