Large Prize Offered For Writing Mac Virus

Mordant writes "Some experienced Mac developers are offering a $25K prize to the first person to successfully infect two 'naked' Internet-connected Macs running stock Apple software. The best part is that if any Symantec employee succeeds in infecting the Macs, the prize goes up to $50K (Symantec has been fanning the flames of totally bogus "Macs aren't more secure, it's just that Windows is a bigger target" technical-equivalence propaganda)!" Update: 03/26 20:24 GMT by Z : Well, that was quick. Jack Campbell has cancelled the contest, after he "...was contacted by a large number of Mac users, and Mac software professionals who shared their thinking with me about the contest."

Actually, here is the full version of what I really wanted to write! :) Come on, sing it all along!

SUING IS IN THE AIR

Suing is in the air
Everywhere I look around
Suing is in the air
Every sight and every sound

And I don't know if I'm being foolish
Don't know if I'm being wise
But it's something that I must believe in
And it's there when I look at big companys

Suing is in the air
In the whisper of the trees
Suing is in the air
In the thunder of the sea

And I don't know if I'm just dreaming
Don't know if I feel sane
But it's something that I must believe in
And it's there when you look at my idears

(Chorus)
Suing is in the air
Suing is in the air
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh

Suing is in the air
In the rising of the sun
Suing is in the air
When the day is nearly done

And I don't know if its an illusion
Don't know if I see it true
But its something that I must believe in
And its there whenever I dont want to
(Chorus X 4)
