Yeah, I'm sure the powers that be at Google never thought about that. If interested parties are using off-the-shelf attack software, this gives Google a leg up, however temporary, because there is less off-the-shelf attack software for OSX.
So while everyone is scrambling to find holes in OSX to exploit in order to grab Google's data, Google secretly converts to plan9, never having intended to use OSX anyway. It's the greatest misdirection in history!
- InclinedPlane 16y agoGoogle is a big company, they are subject to a lot of the same dumb-itude (though hopefully less so) as other big companies. They are capable of making poor choices for all the wrong reasons just like anybody else (see also: buzz, wave, knol). Personally, I hope they are making smart security choices behind the scenes. Nevertheless, my point was a counterargument to the idea that merely switching to windows and being "faster than the other bear bait" was enough for google, as it's not.
