  • First you're saying it can't be right because it's not in your Mac dictionary, so I point out a load of other words that aren't there either - but that doesn't seem to count towards showing that the Mac dictionary is not infallible. Now you want …

  • Quote: Originally posted by curiousuburb Is this a vulnerability of OS X? No. We're not talking about old operating systems, we're comparing new to new. No, what I'm trying to illustrate to you is that Mac users leave their defaults too. All…

  • Quote: Originally posted by Wrong Robot ironic that you used viruses in the title... Both uses are correct, just because viruses shows up in you system dictionary doesn't mean that virii is wrong. Guess what, "Clive" isn't there either, "conne…

  • To quote DaveGee: "If you say those shots are just junky 'one offs' that they hand made then why 'spice up' the images to make it look like a finished product?" ie, I don't believe what you just wrote, Clive, I really think that's the finished pr…

  • Quote: Originally posted by Towel The critical point, like others have said,is that there's no known way for a worm to propogate itself on OSX without asking for user authentication. No propogation, no worm. That is not true, and I'm glad tha…

  • Curiousburb, the risk is not "laughably low", it is "lower". Some of the stuff you wrote I just outright disagree with, and some of what you write is just plain wrong. But I'm not going to sit here and educate hackers. Some of the old hacks fo…

  • Just, something... People keep saying that Jobs says TV is for when you want to switch you brain off, so no TV devices etc. Well, how about when you're on the bus/train/aeroplane, and you want some entertainment other than the rain bashing on the…
