It's called marketing. To address your claims, until very recently, there were very few pieces of malware that directly targeted the Mac platform, unfortunately Java and Flash are gaping holes in this regard. Apple have been slow to fix issue where both are involved. Any others relied totally on social engineering. Regarding viruses, there are still no known viruses in the wild that target OSX. There have been a few developed in "labs" as proof of concept. As to Intel vs PowerPC; It depends on the metric. In raw clock speed, Intel won. Raw clock speed isn't everything though. In floating point operations per second (FLOPS), RISC architecture (PowerPC, and for that matter the ARM processor that powers your Android device) is theoretically more efficient than that of CISC. It can, in some instances, be considered to be faster. I'm sure Apple do "lie" to customers, but they haven't lied about the things you suggest they have lied about. Besides, is it any different to gaming benchmark test to pretend your device is faster than it is in daily use or paying people to say bad things about your competitors online?
