Macs May No Longer Be Immune to Viruses

Bill writes "MSNBC reports that the combination of Apple's growing market share and their recent switch to x86 processors has made Mac OS X a new target for viruses. Unfortunately, it seems that many Mac users are in denial. '[Computer security expert Tom] Ferris said he warned Apple of the vulnerabilities in January and February and that the company has yet to patch the holes, prompting him to compare the Cupertino-based computer maker to Microsoft three years ago, when the world's largest software company was criticized for being slow to respond to weaknesses in its products.'"

Maybe the only consolation is we won't get as many Zombies from Mac as from MS.

A bit further down in the same chapter you get this:
you will certainly find the nearest in friendship to those who believe (to be) those who say: We are Christians; this is because there are priests and monks among them and because they do not behave proudly. I hate holy books, so many contradictions.

Also Linux

And as Linux becomes more popular it will also be a target for viruses.

Not again!

Nothing to see here, move along. This has already been covered to death EVERYWHERE, why is it being talked about again YAWN!

Because Slashdot will post any old story, period, especially if it inspires a flamewar, because then their ad revenue increases.

Were exactly did you read this in the bible? In no place does it say kill this or that.

Leviticus, chapter 21, verses 10 and 11:

"If a man commits adultery with the wife of his heighbor, both the adulterer and the adulteress shall be put to death. The man who lies with his father's wife has uncovered his father's nakedness; both of them shall be put to death."

The mother-daughter menage-a-trois is in verse 14 and the bestiality is in verse 15.
