No need to worry, all Mac's are virus, malware and attack proof and so (by the law of distortion of reality) are any devices or networks attached to a Mac. Go about your business and forget about that pesky "security" thing everyone else likes to talk about. Just etch a picture of Steve striking a thoughtful pose on the lid of your laptop and all your problems will be forgotten.
- podperson 14y agoThanks for injecting helpful -- not to mention hilariously witty -- points into this conversation. You left out the following points: * Apple's stuff is incredibly overpriced * Apple never invented anything, it's just good at marketing * Apple's lawsuits are all based on rounded rectangles * Xerox invented the GUI from scratch and it was perfect * Anyone who uses an Apple device is a hipster fanboi cultist

- doctorwho 14y agoIf Apple's stuff wasn't incredibly overpriced they wouldn't have $100B in the bank. Steve's ghost would be sad and they wouldn't be able to bankroll all their lawsuits (which would also make Steve's ghost sad). Apple USED to be good at marketing. Have you seen those new ads? The ghost of Steve just barfed in his mouth a little bit. Quick! Someone call Justin Long and John Hodgman, that was working okay... Rounded rectangles are the new lucite, and therefor not relevant in any way. Apple's lawsuits were based on Steve Jobs being a big baby about how well Android was selling. Now? Who knows how the Apple lawsuit of the day gets kicked off, but you can bet it involves Androids (and not the Star Trek variety). Now you're just being thick, the first GUI was done by Doug Engelbart (Stanford Research) in '68. It was perfect. Any CS student who took an HCI knows that. Extra points if you know what HCI stands for and don't have to google Engelbart to verify, but I bet you do :) Some people who use Apple devices just want some of the discretionary income that hipster, fanboi (and fangrl, you sexist) and cultists seem quite happy to part with. Will that be cash or credit?
- podperson 14y agoThe anti-Apple trolls have never heard of Douglas Englebart ;-) Apple has made bad ads before and will make bad ads again. I do think the celebrity/Siri and genius ads are disappointing, but I'm not convinced Apple is no longer any good at marketing because it produced some bad ads.
