With the intel chips now used, Macs are becoming more "open" to software and hardware that did not exist before. It is much easier to infect a system that is not so closed.

It has nothing to do with the number of people who used Macs really.

So yes, it will happen.

Dude, as far as hardware goes a mac is identical to any PC. It's been years since apple last produced a proprietary hardware component.

ASP's right and macs are starting to have viruses developped for their OS because of its increasing popularity.

The Wild get Suter, working on Parise

This is actually pretty cool, I'm happy for them.

Let's get into a new topic before we all get ridiculed by JDJ's superiority.


I think snow fits better with winter season. Thoughts?

Given the tone of your posts, I suspect your own personal inferiority complex more than does the job without me having to do anything.

But whatever makes you happy.

Dear Symba.

I have decided to allow you to go double or nothing on the $20 bucks this winter.
Same bet?
Go JVR!!!!.......that's right...I know you are reading this James....you the MAN!!!

Wahoo!!!!!

So what's the bet?

Pacs vs JVR?

No dummy. Same bet. Leafs Vs Habs.

Inferiority complex on the internet huh

Well I'll be damned

OK

*remembers the last time weirdoh gave him an out....against all odds*

I do graphic design, video editing and photography.

Works better for me and most of my clients.
- JDJ

Wrong again.

All the CG pros be it in the movie industry or otherwise use PC's running on windows. Only hipster graphic designers buy a mac thinking it's "made for editing". There's nothing a mac can do that a PC cannot.

The branding is strong in this one.

Because geeks have always been self-esteem beasts.

1) I really don't give a (frank) what you think

2) And I am not.

Keep thinking that.

But since the introduction of OSX and iOS, Macs are more vulnerable than ever.

Wings out for Parise.

Minny gets both Parise and Suter...

I'm used to Mac, I prefer Mac. I'm no hipster.

Glad their both in the West?

Yup...

SUTER to MINNY!!!]

Bam.

They'll get both.

To prefer mac is one thing that i can respect. I've no issue with any mac user.

To spread misinformation about macs vs PCs though is pretty poopty.

Did you pay thousands for your mac thinking its better for editing than a PC?

Minny gets both Parise and Suter...

Takes both of them to replace Tender...

Glad their both in the West?

Yup...

Good for Minny also, good hockey market

Yes, Mac are getting more viruses. I never questioned that.

I stated that the reason was not because there are "few macs" out in the market place was not the reason.


Some suggest that Macs keep such a stellar reputation due to market share [source: Poremba]. Who'd want to write a virus for 100 computers when you could reach 1 million? The disparity isn't that big between the number of Macs and PCs, but you get the point. Not everyone agrees with the market share theory, though, claiming that Macs really do offer fewer opportunities for malicious code to spread [source: Porten]. The bottom line: Macs are not invulnerable and can get infected.

Another myth revolves around the UNIX foundation of Mac OSX (Mac operating system ten). Architecturally, UNIX is built with a more robust permission structure that prevents unauthorized execution of software. While Microsoft Windows will try to run a program any way it can, even if a virus is redirecting things, UNIX will stop in its tracks when it detects an unauthorized redirection and limit any damage [source: Perrin]. This is great, but it doesn't make your computer immune. It's similar to how exercising and eating right will help you stay healthier, but if a strong enough flu bug comes around you're still in for some misery. To infect a Mac, the viruses just need to be written well enough to get around the architecture. Not easy, but completely do-able [source: Rooney].

Inherently, writing viruses to infect Macs has always been more complex, but not impossible. And with the new architecture in Mac the last 4-5 years, it is becoming much easier to do so.

Voilà, it's a matter of preference.
I use both platforms but I usually code my stuff on a PC since most of it will be viewed by PC users...

I find they both have their pros and cons.

They'll get both.
