mac security
apple December 14th, 2003those of you that read the various computer news sites may have seen the misinformed badly written article over at pc magazine about the supposed security vulnerabilities of macs. this is honestly one of the worst written articles i have read in a number of years. you may call me biased because i own a mac, but honestly, read the article. the underlying tone, writing style, and the authors complete misunderstanding of not only macs, the mac community, but viruses and security holes in general is hysterical. i’m not the only person that thinks this guys is a joke either, even the former chief security officer at network solutions, richard forno, has a few choice words on the topic. a poignant quote at the beginning of the article says it all … “mac os x is solid, secure, and perhaps the most trustworthy mainstream computing environment available today” … read richards article for more insight into macintoshes, security, computers, and a look at the inept writers on the pc magazine staff.
