Malware, Macs, and crying wolf: Doing the math (TUAW.com)

May 14th 2011 1:08PM @Richard Gaywood

Microsoft had one Bug with 17 years old... so don't go there. Still, lets see the facts, on MacOsX we never EVER say nothing getting into wild and out of control.

On the other hand, Microsoft.. well...don't need any presentation and Android, a more recent OS than iOS had huge problems with malware and security flaws.

That are the facts. And Pwn2Own I don't believe in all the facts because as almost everybody knows, that's an contest paid by Google and Microsoft... so, there's a lot of FUD over there. Im not saying they didn't found any bug on Apple systems, because they did.. but they make them seems worst than it was.

Google said that Chrome is more safe than Safari, fixing a lot of bugs on the contest, because Google was present on that contest and most of that bugs instead of hackers exploit them, they just gave them to Google fix it because Google make an better offer if someone find a bug and give to them.

And if you follow Charlie Miller, the most known hacker of the contest, he said many times that there's a lot of sensationalism around that contest, specially from the midia around the world.

As an MacOsX, Windows and Linux user I must say: Apple failed more in the haters mouth than in my personal (and professional) life.

"less interesting to hackers. These are low powered devices that spend most of their time asleep;"

Doesn't make sense when we saw already a lot of malware aiming Android, inside and outside Google Market.

On that particulary cases, Apple deploy fixes pretty fast that make that vulnerabilities become obsolete. The fast support is the other weapon that make Apple systems more secure.

May 14th 2011 12:30PM There's no 100% secure system, but Unix system like MacOSX are more safer for human stupidity...

Mac can't get fully autonomous Virus, but can get trojans, but even that trojans you must be stupid to accept that, because most of them fail asking you for administrator password and false certificates that can be just like an "pop-up" saying: "I am a Malware".

Confirmed: iPhone 4 gives fewer bars for lefties (TUAW.com)

Jun 27th 2010 12:26PM Well... im lefty but i hold the iPhone with the right hand, because as a lefty, I control the phone with the left hand ;)

So I think the right title is: iPhone gives fewer bars for righties. :D

And remember... Apple is designed for artists, by artists... and the best artists are lefties (da vinci, michaelangelo, etc) ... and probably that is another reason why mac os always had the window buttons on left side... :D :D :D
