Another sword through the armor of IOS and OSX.

It's not. Read what I wrote in Reply #1, Okie. 99.9% of Mac OS X and iOS users are not at risk.

If an iPhone user is hanging out anywhere with AirDrop turned on broadcasting a willingness to accept files from anyone and everyone, he or she is being pretty stupid and asking for trouble. That is what gets teenage girls Airdropped pictures of stranger's private parts at Starbucks.

AirDrop works over WIFI or Bluetooth. . . but only over a distance of up to 30 meters. It is STILL limited by the requirements of UNIX™ permissions for installation, contrary to what this article implies about being able to put files anywhere on the target system.
