Re: ... Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa...
Don't be so quick to speak the truth around here, it's been known to be dangerous.
It's no secret that I have a Mac (1.83 MBP), and I also run a home made Windows box.
That said, it's always been my opinion that anything made by man can be cracked by man. From the lock on your front door, to copy protection on software, to hardware and operating systems. Unless it's handed down from god himself, there's always someone out there with a few more brain cells to rub together (or time on his hands) to find a way to exploit it.
Given the ranker that can often result when dyed in the wool Windows users bust heads with hardcore Mac users, it really does surprise me that someone hasn't taken the time to launch a major exploit on the Mac platform just for the "HAW-HAW" effect of it. This leads me to believe that Mac OS-X is more than just the unwitting beneficiary of "obscurity". If I were smart enough (I'm not) to write a virus for the Mac that would put the hardcore Mac folks in their place, why wouldn't I? Folks write viruses for more than just a quick buck. There's a lot of pride involved in it. Imagine the street cred the guy who wrote that Mac Virus...
Everything else aside, I've said this before. You like your computer, I like mine. Who gives a crap what OS you run or what OS I run. It's my computer, I'll run whatever I like on it. Go have fun with your computer, I'll have fun with mine, and life goes on.
After all it's just a COMPUTER, not your wife's honor or something.... |
