Quicktime has always been terrible about wanting to take over all associations on your machine, and providing terrible compression schemes that can stop a 2.4GHz P4* dead in it’s tracks. About the only thing worse is Real’s nagware. This is one apple that is full of worms.

I always get a case of the crawls when I hear someone say “Oh, I just use Quicktime to play the video…”

* Not sure what the video was anymore, but I had one 160×100 video that ate 100% of the CPU resources of the machine in question.

Macintosh machines are 100% safe and have no known exploits. This is merely an attempt by the media to cast a bad light on the god of electronics, the beloved Steve Jobs.

This just supports what I’ve been saying for years. Mac fanboys like to tell you that Macs are safer than Windows at every chance they get, but you know why?

Nobody gives a shit about hacking Macs. If you wanted to damage as many computers as possible, would you target Windows, with most of the market share, or Macs, with less than 5% of the market? I thought so.

If Macs had most of the market and Windows had 5%, Macs would be the ones being bombarded with viruses and security issues.
