    which exploits a weakness in Mac OS X where applications can appear to be other types of files.

    That noise you heard was all the mac zealots falling of their soapboxes. ;-)

    Exactly.

    do you take that stance with windows expoits too, or are you just yet another mac zealot?

    Your mindless trolling would lead anyone to draw that assumption.

    Anyone else noticed how dumb they are?
    Just read some Mac boards and see all the confusion about USB, ATA, Firewire and other technical stuff.
    We x86 users can configure, replace, exchange, flash roms etc. with closed eyes.
    Years with one click OS's made them unable to cope with any modern technology and consequences it brings with.

    This news is one of the proofs that show how stupid the mac idiots truly are. Obviously slashdot monkies are disappointed by this, but it is a clear sign that shows that most of the bullshit we are hearing from the mac idiots are not true.

    By the way, mac users are known to be more stupid than windows users. That's why Apple has to make everything so easy to use, otherwise mac users can not figure out anything. Remember none of these people know anything about command lines, whereas the average windows users know that.

    Claiming that windows is less secure is as stupid as slashdot monkies are.

    statement of fact? Anecdotal evidence that the parent doesn't know what he is talking about?

    Does it really bother you that much that I don't have problems with my windows box?
