one of the previous gen dell mini 9 net books allowed an easy osx install. I still prefer running linux on a net book though. maybe the windows 7 will be good but im still hoping google chrome OS is the cats jammies

To be honest, as interesting as that was, I really don’t give to much credit to some script kiddie who can exploit or take over a server run by someone who is a security expert. I am more fascinated by their research they do and projects they discover which is beyond what most people who go after and try to “hack” are capable of.

Big whoop that someone cracked into his box and used methods to break out of the jailshell. Hes more famous for his rootkit, conficker, and DNS security bugs he found.

I am one to admit it that my personal boxes are less secure than something I run accounts on or manage. Just ease of use.

“We hacked Dan’s assets first through finding bugs and writing 0day, and  
then through abusing him giving away passwords and his silly password

I wouldn’t consider them script kids…

that zf0 shit was good hacking…he didn’t just hit personal boxes. He rm’d the shit out of “production” websites.

I would also admit that my personal shit is pretty insecure.

the macintosh is shiny and pretty

once hackers come near it, they are instantly lulled into loving it, and thus will not hack it

WE NEED TO SELL YOU THE “TOTAL PACKAGE!” We want to make sure our Mac OS only runs on the best hardware that is optimized for it, and that’s why it costs 3 times as much. What’s that you say? It’s the same hardware as a PC, just with an apple on the case? well, um, those pretty colors aren’t free, ya know. And the “I’m a PC” guy held out for more money unless we made him look cooler.

Haha but don’t you feel like you are in your own crowd when you sit in a coffee shop and type your novels on your Mac?

it’s not so much about “the best hardware” as it is about constant hardware to every mac to the machine that the software is designed for is the same exactly as the one it’s tested on, and the one you buy in the store. apple is all about controlling the user experience.

Constant hardware with constant 100+% markup. Apple is all about controlling every dollar their users spend on anything.

I am suprised Apple doesn’t prevent what programs you can run on their computers.
