The world is ending, Mac OS X is clearly no different to XP or 2000. Why this morning I turned it on, and 15 minutes into my session i’d downloaded three trojans and had a myriad of inexplicable pop-ups.

I’m not in the sandbox, i’m just dealing with my oh-so-very-fraught-with-security-holes OS.

This patch means very little – its an acknowledgement to how well fortified the OS is. It took 5 days to find, without any users becomming affected by…anything. How many tens, hundreds – thousands! – of Windows users have been infected or adversely effected before a pertinent (quite often, if not always, 3rd party) patch/virus definition becomes available.

Macs simply do not have security flaws of any sort. The author of this story was obviously writing about something he/she does not understand.

They are off with the Java kids playing in the sandbox – burrying their heads in the sand
