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 sold my old Powerbook G4 to my mate. He had it a month and said he hated it. The screen was apparently to flimsy, the OS was way too weird, he couldn't get Outlook to work properly and Photoshop, Illustrator and Reason just weren't quick enough for his needs.
He'd basically never used the software before and didn't even know what he was doing. He therefore went and got a PC which he has since reinstalled the OS 3 times in 5 months and just watches films on it and surfs the internet collecting spam and viruses. A none creative.
Everything has different uses. My parents prefer their mac because it does exactly what they want it to do. I prefer my Mac because the software just works without any hassle and I don't have to sit their configuring it to do stuff.
This isn't an argument. Macs are no better, they are just a different way of doing things. A way I find much easier.
- Powerbook G4, let's get the timeline board up. hm, 1989. or what?!akrokdesign
- no way mate, it was the one from the 60's. Very retroIanbolton
- Kiddies, pay attention in history lessons. It was on sale between 2001 and 2006.comicsans

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
