Get real guys!!!!!

Anyone here heard of the recent month of Apple Bugs (http://projects.info-pull.com/moab/) and Apple's utterly cr@p response to the security holes that were found and published? They were SO disorganised that seasoned commentators in the business stated that it put Microsoft's security patching process and systems in a very good light!!!! Apple simply failed to moblize quickly to the security related bugs that were published, starting with head-in-the-sand denial despite knowing this was coming.

Mac OS is based on Next which is a unix-like operating system....suspect not many people know that the first virus was born on unix...the "Worm". Look it up if you care to, from the early days of C programming.

It's just a matter of time, and when it comes, it will be a big one, as so many Mac-heads think they are immune to the threat.
