It's the time of year again, folks. "The year 2007 has been an interesting year that brought us improved security with Windows Vista and Mac OS X Leopard (10.5). But to get some perspective of how many publicly known holes found in these two operating systems, I've compiled all the security flaws in Mac OS X and Windows XP and Vista and placed them side by side. This is significant because it shows a trend that can give us a good estimate for how many flaws we can expect to find in the coming months." Do with it as you please.

On philmug.ph, the posters can be rather quick to turn mean and ugly for little to no reason. One of the head moderators, Adel Gabot, once wrote an article about how Mac users were morally superior to mere peecee users since they actually PAY for the software they use, unlike the unwashed masses who buy pirated CDs.
Like there aren't any bootleg CDs for Mac software.
Much as I love Macs, I really can't stand Apple, or other Mac users sometimes.

How is that any different to the 'open source zealots' who post how they're morally superior because they insist that all the software they use is open source?
Any zealot when taken to the extreme causes idiots to run amuck, but check out Macrumours, Appleinsider, Arstechnica - because philmug.ph means nothing in the grand scheme of things, its a small site with hardly any users - its the equivalence of someone pointing to my blog and making conclusions about a whole set of people off one website.
Look through the websites I've provided, check the Mac sections, and you'll find that when things are anything but perfect, the most rabid of fanboys will come out and be the first to abuse Apple.
PS. Check who is saying that Leopard is broken - I can assure you, it isn't the newly converted.
