Hi ShadowAce, thanks for the ping. (Psst... Swordmaker.... over here...)

Ain't it a riot? In an article whose subject is "Windows malware", the LEAD SENTENCE STILL CONTAINS "Mac Users". Can't avoid getting that dig in there, can they? Gotta get those page hits. It's all about being a tech-writer prostitute.

I swear, these tech writers could teach the whores of Thailand a thing or two.

Oh, well... I'm running a mix of Win7 and XP on my many various Windows boxes, and probably won't switch to IE9 (from IE8) until either: a) I ditch XP entirely, not for a couple more years, or b) Microsoft wises up and releases a version of IE9 for XP. (Uh, best of luck with that!)

Because it was written by a prominent Linux pumper, and there is longer a peace settlement in the *NIX universe against Microsoft, since Apple starting locking things down to increase their profits as well. Google did the typical open source thing by trying to copy iOS with Android, and unleashed their hounds on Apple, and has so far seen it work with a lot of Androids being sold. It may be short lived however, as their open security model is already failing, and they're facing patent suits on multiple fronts now from not only Apple, Microsoft, and Oracle, but small timers who are winning their suits as well.

My wife yelled at me last week to come look at her computer. Her Mac had a big warning that malware had been found on her computer and to hit OK for a full scan.

She didn’t click the link and I closed the browser with ho apparent harm but that is the first time I’ve seen something like than on the Mac.
