Uh Oh Mac Users!

oh my jesus.

i think im gonna go die now, no point left in living

this + swine flu is just all too much Armageddon for one day for me
 
uhhh okay? one hacker claims he can hack into safari because it isn't designed ass backwards and retarded.. cool
 
Great, I'm sure a hacker is dying to infect 5% of all computers. Who cares about the other 90 odd % that contain much more useful information. Hackers are lining upto get their hands on photos, music and iMovies!
 
ok, the reson nothing works on a mac is because they don't give the code out to have progams work on them. so no one knows the code to a mac you can't make a virus that will effect it, but that has nothing to do with hacking so apple never look in to sacurty (no way I spelled that right) for macs it will get better if this becomes a big problum.

sorry I can't spell to save my life
 
Okay.... so hackers have manipulated pc's to hell for years.... why does the fact that someone figured macs out change anything? They're still better computers.... I've had mine for 3 years and not one thing has gone wrong. I had my pc for like a month before shit got fucked up.
 
well i've had this pc for a year and a half, it hasn't broken down once, it hasn't gotten one virus, and it has a rediculously long battery life. btw i have an hp dv2000 special edition.
but, i'm not hating on macs, i'm just pointing out that i haven't had any problems with my pc. jeez i hope this doesn't turn into another mac vs. pc fight.
 
Quote from the responses...
"I must disagree with Leighton, as it is the UNIX system that prevents viruses, not the popularity. Don’t you think that at least someone would have made a virus for macs with their continual progression in society? Maybe they’re not the most common, but surely you can’t believe that not a single person has made a virus, because it’s not popular.Unfortunately I don’t see any evidence this site has given to prove this article. It would be as if I decided to write an article about how the Pentagon is easy to hack because I put the code into a process and I know exactly where it’s going to be. There’s no randomization. I know when I jump there, the code is there and I can execute it there.
Now I’m not saying this isn’t true, but I am saying that I have had experience in this area and there is nothing in this article compelling enough for me to feel proven wrong. I’d be curious to see how the author used his “exploitation,” what kind it was, and proof of its success. It sounds to me like this is a simple browser exploitation instead of a real virus. Something that anyone could do on any browser. I’d be curious to see how the author got his virus to bypass authorization, as in mac and linux, unlike windows, everything must be authorized before being run. I’m also baffled how he came to the conclusion that anything he threw in was instantly executable on a mac but not on a windows, as it is only in windows that things can be executed in that manner. Even if he managed to get it to run, which is possible, it would be disabled after rebooting the computer unless the user authorized it. Though there are ways to trick someone into doing this, it is by no means easier than on a windows.
In conclusion while creating a UNIX compatible virus isn’t impossible, it is monumentally more difficult than on a windows system. Anyone who honestly believes that out of the millions of people who own macs not one person has created a virus for it because it’s not popular, is not a very thoughtful person.I just wanted to clear up any confusion. Anyone who is interested why macs actually don’t get viruses, I would recommend doing some research on UNIX kernal."
 
Shit yeah man. Ive got a dv6000, no problems with mine, other then ones I could have stopped (viruses from Limewire...) but those are solved with something like AVG free. I have been very happy with my computer.
 
Your random anecdotal experience does not prove that Macs are better computers. I had my old PC for two years and nothing went wrong with it until I spilled a beer on it. My roommate's Mac is fucked up after one. I'm not saying PCs are better, just that Macs aren't better either. Honestly, if you don't know how to use computers very well, Macs are the way to go because PCs can get fucked up if you have no idea what you're doing. If you do know how to keep your computer safe, and you don't wanna pay way WAY too much, then I'd recommend a PC any day of the week. Main point of the post, though: Stop being pretentious, you douchebaggy Mac users. Goddamn.
 
To tell you the truth I know nothing about computers and use them for nothing more than the usual school work, internet, downloading, and occasional photoshop. I don't care if you have a PC or a Mac or which is better. I just felt like releasing some anger into the world and now apologize for it.

You see even as a PC lover I would totally recommend a mac for you. They are more user friendly and better suited for the types of things you say you are going to be doing with your machine.
 
i mean yes there are viruses for mac just not as common. as for the pc mac argument. Any computer is typically okay as long as you have the slightest idea of what you are doing. People think PC is bad because they dont keep up on it and it gets fucked over. i have a mac laptop and an 8 year old PC that runs great still!
 
ive had my gateway pc for 4 years and running. shit is a champ, still on the same battery even and it holds a charge very well. I love my comp
 
This also isn't executable remotely. Someone has to be physically at your computer to make this happen. I'm not sure about you guys but I don't really let too many people mess around with my computer and it certainly doesn't happen without me knowing it.
 
Stuff like this always takes some consent by the user, the trick is to make the user consent unknowingly. So it is in a way... if they are stupid. Which of course they are because they are mac users! Almost forgot to add something to the fire~

Anyways this is pretty old news draw general conclusions from small things etc etc shitstorm etc~
 
for sure.

the reason people very rarely get viruses on macs are because so few people have macs compared to PCs. why make a virus that affects 5 people when you can make one that affects 100?
