I'm still on OS 9 (if it ain't broke don't fix it) Sticking out Tongue

NEway - this article is somewhat enlightening on the vulnerabilities of OS X. What saves it as the smaller market share (when compared to Windows) so there's less hacker-interest:

Interesting reading. As one who has not tried the Apple computers...yet, that is nice to know. I've been on the PC platform forever and use Windows 2000 (for the studio) and Fedora Core and/or Ubuntu linux for my playthings. Thanks for sharing Anthony Wink

PLEASE! The "article" that this was referenced from was a satire; unfortunately a few media outlets picked it up and reported it as fact.
Click here to read the article - and enjoy the laugh (Dubai Port Authority! LOL).

Hard to tell where the irony is!

God knows OS9 was easier to fix.

The comments, especially the ones at the bottom of This Page, spell it out a little better.

Shame on me, then.
I just skimmed the top of the article.

I can see the folly now-- but in all honesty----

The Onion it ain't.
