The guy who made that one apple virus last year or whatever got sent death threats. I'm || close to pick up the virus prevention class in school (where we write viruses to better udnerstand them) and getting the cheapest mac and making an Apple virus myself. Just imagine the epic lulz. I hear the tears of mac fans heal cancer. It'd be my gift to society.

On a more serious note. I would trust Microsoft over Apple on sceurity ANY day of the week. MS has been dealing with stuff liek this for decades now, while Apple can't do shit about it. They have no experience in patching their security holes the way MS staff does. Thank god businesses will never pick up Macs, it would ruinthe economy.

A mechanic who took her two beautiful 5 year olds to work with her one day takes a break and she notices the two of them arguing.  Each is holding wrench and claiming that their wrench is the best wrench.  "Mine looks cooler" one says to which the other says "Well mine does more!"  This goes on for a little while and the mechanic just chuckles to herself for she understands neither wrench is better than the other but that each wrench exists to serve a purpose and, in fact, there are far more wrenches than those in the world each with their own purpose.  Still, the mechanic has hope because her children are only 5 and someday they will understand such things.

Some days, I feel like that mechanic.  We are alike in that both of us deal with a lot of nuts on a daily basis.  Sadly, unlike her, I do not have the same hope.

 

Great analogy. Wrenches are meant for doing not looking pretty though.
