IMO, the more Apple shakes their stick, yelling "You're not getting into my house" the more likely the right person is going to take on that challenge and succeed. You can only yell "Come at me bro" so many times before someone actually does come at you.
- gurkendoktor 14y agoThis is a note most of us wouldn't have read without it being posted to HN via Forbes. Apple ran TV ads claiming that Macs had no viruses years ago - those were much more provocative and not much happened. Or maybe the Flashback worm just took a long time to develop :)
- jack-r-abbit 14y agoTimes change. Maybe there wasn't quite the incentive/appeal years ago. And this is Hacker News. I understand "hacker" in this case is not exactly the same thing as a malware writer. But if I were to bet on a TV ad years ago vs. an article posted here today (along with others on the topic in the recent past) my money would not be on the TV ad.
