Re: Someone at Apple needs to go to jail.
Again: Apple was not testing the iPods -- the testing was done at the manufacturing site by an entity separate and un-related to Apple.

But somehow because it's Apple people want to say it's ok. It's not. Apple deserves to burn for it... I agree. Apple was obviously testing some iPods before shipping by using Windows PC's that were infected with a virus. That they didn't make sure those PC's were virus free is totally their own fault. Trying to blame Microsoft is just more of the same denial process that Apple has exhibited about their own systems being invulnerable to viruses.

If Apple is to be crisped, then MS needs to be atomized. And a good smack at the vendor who infected these ipods.
This has happened before (MacAddict sent out CDROMs that had a trojan on them) and it usually is unknown to the manufacturer. Some thrid party vendor/supplier is responsible.
Apple atleast is open enough to say "Whoa, folks! If connecting this to a PC, make sure it has current AV software. Some of our products were infected by supplier during setup/testing...and yes, via Windows!"
What a great spin! |

How is an infected Mac going to cause this? That makes no sense. This is an isolated event in which the manufacturer fucked up some iPods before Apple even had taken delivery of them.

I can't and won't cry for Apple when the Apple zealots have taken this same attitude towards MS for eons.
If this were MS and not Apple, they'd be the first calling for blood. Just because it's Apple it does NOT just make it ok.
By the way, I find it funny that an infected PC is being blamed during replication. Apparently a Mac isn't good enough to do such a simple process?
So yeah. Paybacks are a... |

said by Primis1 : Apple deserves to burn for it... Yeah burn for something that affected less than 1% of the iPods available in the last month or so. Now while I understand that even one is one too many, they've acknowledged the problem, rectified the problem and point users to free steps that they can take in the rare event that they're affected by the problem. Most anything mass produced is going to have the occasional problem child that gets by even with superlative quality control measures in place.
Nonetheless, I'm sure the anti-Apple brigade is going to run with this. Enjoy. |

Apple needs to punish it's suppliers. Apple did NOT put the virus on the iPod themselvs so no one at Apple should be punished per se, but the manufacturer who is using an infected computer to test brand new iPods on needs to be replaced with a smarter one.
