Make sure you tell people that the hacking contest he won consisted of him turning up with something which ha had already written, he just pressed a button after he had already spent several hours at home wherever trying to hack the computer and after he was sucessfull he went to the contest and did what he already knew worked.
So no he did not hack the computer in ten seconds, he won a competition in ten seconds, with a practiced formula which already worked.
Quote the part of the article where it says the contestants turn up with prewritten code.
Naughty.
- dude whatever, still shows it can be done.jerseyred
- "took 10 seconds to exploit a hole in Safari" he didn't bring the laptop!jerseyred
- even the dumbest fuck knows that 10 sec. it's not possible.
akrokdesign - ahahahahahaGucci
- sounds like you don't know people who can do that kind of stuffjerseyred

The more platforms there are, the more competition, the better for us users. Unless you own either company's stock, you're defending it because you've been brainwashed to present brand loyalty.
I use Apple stuff as a personal preference but the better the competition gets, the better for every end user.
I'm sick of it when people get caught into brand camp tricks set up by marketing depts. Civillians, ok, but most people here work in advertsing and should know the game ffs!
- good - like a true artist in this industry I own both and design for both - I don't discriminate, I hate em alljerseyred
- Same with politics. Ppl think their president is their friend. Does he ever play golf with them? No, he does with bankers.raf
- it's not a bad approach jr :) however, computers need love, or they wont start at times - just like carsraf

Safari hole exploited in seconds at security conference
http://news.cnet.com/8301-1009_3…your mac designer mind didn't comprehend the point of the link (or the hack), not that people are creating hacks, it's that they are exploiting browsers. He said it takes longer to exploit ie - get it?
- I want you to try harder.chossy

- like how you update your website?jerseyred
- Why would I update my website?. I have a job. I do not need the website for freelance and I am in contact with all my friends. My website is at best a silly hobby.chossy
- friends, my website is at best a silly hobby. I don't make a living from the internet nd don't need to advertise nor display my work on the internet.chossy
- just effen with you man - don't try so hard!jerseyred
- I think you should apologise.chossy
- what! isn't there an analogy that describes heat and kitchen? Insert analogy herejerseyred
- That does not sound like an apology to me.chossy
- perceptivejerseyred
- i don't think this REALLY needed to get personal, now did it?Gucci
- I still didn't get that apology. I demand an apology.chossy
- i also demand an apology.7point34
- for chossy, but i'll take one too7point34
- while we're at it, I want one tooBobbyMalone
- I'm sorry.detritus

One thing that is interesting is that even though Apple hasn't gained much share of the consumer desktop market, the gap between the profits of the companies is not all that great...and one is growing while the other is going down.

- HAHA...brilliant...g... point too though. If you use a comp every day, why not spend an extra $500 on a good one?ukit
- why spend 500 extra if its not better?deathboy
- lolz. but it is, you're just too dumb to recognize the differencelambsy
- haha. these are great!Gucci
- exactly lambsy. im seen the difference.deathboy
- this is evidence that some people have way too much time on their handstymeframe

I'll repeat that for the tenth time: I wish there was more competition on the market. Just take ten or a hundred million of investor dollars, work for a year on a linux distribution and make it look and work as good as OSX, launch mac and win software and work on all computers. How hard can it be, really?

raf, you are thinking of ubuntu,
http://www.ubuntu.com/- I was thinking of something that doesn't look like shit and looks to be designed with a clear concept in mind..raf
- ..that's basically the only important thing separating osx and ubunturaf
- Year after year I look at ubuntu I see linux with an X-interface put together from other os scraps by manga fans.raf
- I mean, it's ok, but offers no incentive not to use ms windowsraf
- Even the name says "something you don't want to use". "Zune" is a better name. "Solaris" is a fantastic name.raf
- looks a lot like a Mac OS, or at least stolen from one.utopian
- Ubuntu's great, you can make it look like Mac OSX with no slow down or excessive resource use, its jus a nightmare to get CS4 on it :(Hombre_Lobo

Well the Google OS is launching soon...I don't think it's quite what you described in terms of looking as good as OSX, but I'm sure it will provide more competition.
The problem for M$ is that market for desktop PCs as well as the market for software is eroding at the same time, and they have yet to establish much of a foothold in either mobile OS or web based apps.
- I understand it'll be a browser based terminal for wireless google services. They've been working on infrastructure for yearsraf
- ..years. They bought all the optical fibre left in the ground by 2000 burst bubble superhighway companies and..raf
- ..have teamed up with a wireless provider which will cover all of the USraf
- That's interesting...the Chrome OS is targeted specifically at Netbooks type computers...they already have Android for wireless devicesukit

Wankers argument.
Apple products are as bad as any others. If the fanbois think otherwise, more power to you.

I have never met an authentic and or talented designer that worked on a PC. I do know some amazing accountants, video gamers and slackers that use a PC. Please name me one, just one talent designer that uses a PC and post his/her website link here, thank you.

If you buy an Apple and don't realize you're paying at least in part for image, then you shouldn't buy an Apple. Regardless, isn't good design worth it? Even if Incase products fell apart in a few months, wouldn't you have enjoyed those few months relatively more than a few months with some knockoff casemaker?
The best you could do is argue that both Dell and Apple have pluses and minuses that correspond directly to the different consumers they target. There's no way in hell PCs in general are better overall than Apple.
- Apple's case hardware is worth it. It can be described as beautiful, even.monospaced_III

- why does it rotate clockwise?ribit
- no shit, clock-wise rotation makes it just about impossible to readmonospaced_III
- its from a Ghost in the shell: SAC
I believe it rotates like this because its a japanese cartoon.

i am a mac advocate but i do have a massive issue. there is no support for legacy mac products. i've got a pre-intel G5 which is virtually a paper weight because i can't upgrade any of the software.
- 'any'?ribit
- I have a G4 powerbook, still works, how is it a paperweight unless you are a version junkie?comicsans
- Have updates for 10.5 stopped coming?raf
- all new tingatings is intel onlyerikjonsson
- I have the Snow update, you're not missing out and I'm sure they'll support 10.5 too, at least security-wiseraf

CygnusZero4:
Ive got a $500 HP laptop that's 8 years old and still rockin. Cant get much over a year out of this $2000 apple. Shit products. Im off the bandwagon.Glad to hear it!
Dont get me wrong, the way mac OS works is great, modular OS is the way forward (which is why i dual boot xp-ubuntu), but i just dont get on with Mac's. They are quite over priced too
.
That and ive also met too many pretentious apple bumming iphone riding wankers at design events to ever want to own a mac.
- Hombre_Lobo0
Also, as previously mentioned in this thread, you hear many people saying "real designers use mac's".
Most ridiculous thing ive ever heard. A real designer (or intellectual) would understand that your computer is just a tool to reach your desired outcome, xp, mac whatever.
