And that is the case with very-rarely-tainted-by-virus Mac computers.

While I was getting wasted, tripping and falling in the center of NYC streets while clink-clanking around in an Oscar the grouch garbage can and lid, this Halloween, two pro interweb criminals were caught using a Trojan Horse software that for the very first time has an OS X specific attack. Of course what could be wiser than to place this virus in the vein of, you guessed it, porn! I know what you’re thinking - “But JD, no one uses the internet for porn, so we’re all safe, right?” Well, Mac users visiting Betsiesbackyardbones.com, or whatever, encounter a quicktime codec which disguises itself as video-decoding software, but instead installs rogue code. Evron and other observers do predict that attackers will have a field day with Macs, as well as with Apple’s new mobile platforms… Still, considering how much easier it is, and has always been, to hack the Windows-based platforms, I honestly don’t think Apple is in for that big of a scare - their past infection rates never seem to climb.

I mean cyber dweebs fear attention of the socially normal and blow their freaken load at attention of the uuber geeky. Even if hacking into Macs systems weren’t profitable, as they haven’t been in the past with Apple lagging behind Dell and HP, they would have done it anyway just for winning dweeb drenched raves. Looking at Apples linux heritage I’d say Apple should be alright, for the time being that is. Luckily, the virus can not install itself and requires an authentication code from its user. Somehow however, I don’t think newer mac using pervoids who gain millions of free orgasms from gloriasgoldenshowergalleries.com will neglect to provide this info. This could further open the door of possibility for future threats on a rapidly growing entity. We can’t compare the present with a huge and uncertain future, so the next few years for Mac should prove interesting (think finding holes in OS X security for one - nothing is 100% secure ppl). Still, I would not rule out waiting for Leopard 10.5.x if you’re craving it as much as I am right now - which is a fucking lot man, a whooole fucking lot.

Apple’s season has finally come. Well, all the more reason to step outside your granmammy’s basement, put on some saucy new knickers and meet some real ladies and gents in the flesh my pervacious friends - geez.
