    the funny thing about mac-users is you're immune only because no one bothers with your system. security-wise, macs are an accident waiting to happen. everyone likes to point fingers at pcs and at internet explorer in general saying what abysmal pieces of shit they are. the fact remains though that windows and windows browsers all have complicated checks and anti-spyware code in place to attempt to head this stuff off at the pass so to speak. they have been dealing with this sort of garbage for years and try like mad to keep their systems secure. though they might suffer from hacks and "holes" they are reasonably vigilant about creating patches for those problem areas.

    macs do not have that kind of security. as they become more popular people are going to find it very easy to hack into and take over mac systems. i've read accounts from various hackers that discuss how macs are wide open in terms of vulnerability. There's nothing to stop anyone getting if they wanted to. So, go ahead and rally round the apple store and sing coldplay songs about how great your revolution is. enjoy it while it lasts, fuckers.
