"Daines was browsing the Web when he clicked on a series of links that promised pictures of an unreleased update to his computer's operating system. Instead, a window opened on the screen and strange commands ran as if the machine was under the control of someone - or something - else. Daines was the victim of a computer virus. Such headaches are hardly unusual on PCs running Windows. Daines, however, was using a Mac - a machine often touted as being immune to such risks."

but it is ONLY Windows that has these problems, and if you took your head out of your ass for 5 minutes, you would see this.
but wait.
with a name like linuxhater, and your pro-microsoft rantings, I would bet a months wages you actually DO use Linux and don't have Windows anywhere near your PC.
you just like to see people argue.
OR
you really are thick as a brick and do not know how to USE anything but WIndows

yeah, that Linuxh8r does seem a bit dim... I mean, he takes his news from msnbc... MSnbc ,,,, Microsoft(Network Broadcasting Corporation), and he expects it to be fair on competitors..
and his arguments are always weak, at least we got a laugh when we read what Linux Is Poo used to say...
where are you Poo, come back, all is forgiven
etc etc

He has said before here that he does not use WIndows, so what? That will not make him an idiot, far from it in fact.
you however, with your "many clients" crap, clearly demonstrate that you have not got a job. And you needed ndiswrapper to get wireless working ? how many years ago was that ? and why make a point of it anyway ?
I installed Windows the other day and needed to get drivers for my nvidia card and for a speedtouch dsl modem. So what ?
Stop making a dick out of yourself little boy, shut up and come back when you have learned a thing or two

...has the courage to point out the fact that Macs (like all computer OSes) are not immune to attacks (despite what osnews.com and others will tell you).
Slashdot, osnews, etc... want you to think *ONLY* windows is affected by such problems; not lily white (and perfect ) linux and Macs -- oh no!
They are pulling the wool over your eyes (again).
