Although I am a Mac user, I am able to pull myself away from the zealous “fanboi” masses and, as dirty stated, “call a spade a spade”. It is ignorant to think that any system is 100%. Unfortunately, to state such to the zealous masses is a date with a fire fight. So eager are they to blindly back up Apple while not looking at the fact that, with more market share and, with the release of a (in my opinion) Vista-like version of OS X, Apple will soon join the ranks as a company with its own security risks in the OS.

All in all, I like my Mac…but call a spade when you see it. Its not hack proof but you can pretend it is if that sort of thing makes you feel good inside. At least you can look cool while you’re getting owned, jk hahah

So um…. if the rest of us who use windows to play games and nothing else laugh at those silly mac users, can we make them go cry in a corner?

I’m not mean… Honest…

i am biased against apple products. they don’t last very long, and the service fees are ludicrous.

anyways, i wonder how they are selling this new firewall as being easy to use, if they even bother. for most, ease of use for a firewall is an oxymoron.

i agree with you dirty: status symbols all the way.

I was quite disappointed to find out that Apple had screwed this up so badly. I mean, we all expect the usual crap from microsoft. But it would have been nice if the competition had brought out a decent product. (which it of course still is).

Yeah I agree, Apple fanboi’s are some of the most illogical people around. No doubt OSX is a great OS and very useable, as it’s based on BSD it has stability, and they spent their R&D dollars making it look good and easy to use.

But as for security, it’s never been great.

Most Apple stuff is based more on style than substance, people buy it because it looks good…they don’t care about the actual advantages.

You know…this is such a touchy subject with Mac users. At least the ones that bought a Mac thinking that it is 100% failsafe and came to that conclusion because other snotty Mac users told them that was true. I own an Intel Mac and multiple Win boxes, so personally I believe that the Mac is an awesome computers, however it is not completely safe from blackhats.

I like Macs but they are pretty much status symbols. Go in any coffee house in NYC, SF, LA and all the cool kids have Macs and look down upon any Windows users….
