I’m just thinking that it might be wise to wait for Vista to come out before making too many comparisons of the number of vulnerabilities found on the two platforms. I’m not listing this to make excuses a vulnerability is a bad thing no matter how it got there. Similarly, Safari has been changing rapidly while Internet Explorer has been coasting for ages. Meanwhile, aside from some security updates and the like, Microsoft has been selling pretty much the same OS for 4 or 5 years. In January 2006, OS X became multi-platform. 10.5 included a dissying pile of updates, both in view and behind the scenes, including stuff like heavy modification to the kernel and support for 64-bit.
They NEED OS X to have holes so they have something to write about, because they’re bored with writing about how secure it is. He takes ridiculous shots in the dark, and if he attracts an audience then the tech writers know what to write about next. I suppose that’s where Dvorak really fits in. The main thing here is not even about OS X, but how these trends get started in tech writing and then everybody gets onboard if they sense they have an audience. And it seems like since then, it’s just been snowballing, different writers/security sites trying to outdo each other to bring the startling revelation that OS X has security holes. Then eventually, there was an article saying maybe OS X did have vulnerabilities possibly because of its BSD layer. There was a time a short while back when a whole slew of people were writing articles about the security of OS X, and how hard it would be to write malware for it.
#EYETV FOR MAC MAC#
I’m no Mac user, but to me it just looks like people are jumping on the bandwagon.
