China Crafts Cyberweapons
MitmWatcher writes to mention that a recent report by the Department of Defense revealed that China is continuing to build up their cyberwarfare units and develop viruses. "'The PLA has established information warfare units to develop viruses to attack enemy computer systems and networks,' the annual DOD report on China's military warned. At the same, Chinese armed forces are developing ways to protect its own systems from an enemy attack, it said, echoing similar warnings made in previous years."
Before they launch cyber-attacks against the US.
Oops, too late!

The Phone Losers of America have sided with the red Chinese?
I sit in sad repose as I type this reply concerning an issue I find most deeply disturbing. The first thing I want to bring up is that China's sophistries have created an obscene, daft universe devoid of logic and evidence. Only within this universe does it make sense to say that it's okay if China's words initially cause our quality of life to degrade because "sometime", "someone" will do "something" "somehow" to counteract that trend. Only within this universe does it make sense to replace law and order with anarchy and despotism. And, only if we create and nurture a true spirit of community can we destroy this rapacious universe of its and take steps toward creating an inclusive society free of attitudinal barriers. If we can understand what has caused the current plague of depraved blackguards, I believe that we can then acquire the input of a representative cross-section of the community in a non-threatening, inclusive environment. I can't follow China's pretzel logic. I do, however, know that it is driving me nuts. I can't take it anymore! Should someone think that I am saying too much, I am not saying too much, but much too little. For China's true goal is to leach integrity and honor from our souls. All the statements that its compeers make to justify or downplay that goal are only apologetics; they do nothing to open minds instead of closing them. Let me end by appealing to our collective sense of humanity: China's flunkies are an amalgamation of cacodemonic cheapskates, amoral hoodwinkers, and other cantankerous, passive-aggressive segregationists. Thanks and contributions to pakin.org for the insight into China's devious plots!
Something witty goes here.

This is a perfect example of why I think the Mac community has been compromised by using Office X, and other products from Microsoft's Mac Business Unit. As I have mentioned here before, I do not trust PC-type people. They do not think like us. They are not like us. They are as close to "alien life forms" as we can get without having to leave this planet.
/Applications folder, none of them pledge allegiance to a corporate master churning out horrifying simulacra of Mac users' innovations. On top of that, given that they are run by Windows users, how easy would it be for one of them to allow a "friend" to dummy up a Trojan, have another "friend" port it to the Mac, and then allow another "friend" to unleash a remote controlled hell on our private Bonjour-configured LANs? After all, they are "blood", right?
Seriously, they do not share our values. They hate that we have good taste. They like to keep their windows maximized and their ligatures uncombined. They think gray is a color. Hell, most of them are perfect little squares in perfectly square holes and if you go to PC strongholds like Staten Island you'll see most of the media they consume is produced by Mac users, as the Windows demographic is incapable of creativity in music, the arts, interior design, etc.
They are backwards. They live in the 1980s. They've contributed nothing meaningful to humanity for decades and decades. While we different thinkers are out writing AppleScripts, making HyperCard stacks, mixing in Logic Pro, editing collaboratively in SubEthaEdit, proofing rainbow banners in Illustrator, creating wealth through a variety of postmodern/postindustrial models and winning Nobels and Pulitzers and Grammys and Tonys and Oscars and Pritzkers along the way, the PC users are sitting on their asses downloading the fruits of our labor (how else do you explain so many being able to reference Futurama, bash the New Yorker, etc.?) The only thing they have in their favor is old, fat, white-bread bankrolls accumulated on slavery and imperialism and, personally, I wish their inherited wealth would run dry. Sure, we'd have a hell of a headache funding our next indie production, but so would the whole world, and when faced with adversity the ingenuity of Mac users truly comes to the fore.
Anyway, back on point. Why don't I trust the Mac Business Unit?
Because to have PC-type people writing software to help us finance our projects, communicate with our studios, write our manifestoes and organize our political protests, is a disaster waiting to happen.
Whereas we may allow products from other dull, dogma-bound companies into our
Which leads me to how some in our own community are encouraging PC-type people to switch to the Mac.
If you go back and do some checking of stories, you will see that in most cases where lifelong Windows users suddenly buy Macs, or people who are Linux to the core suddenly pirate Intel OS X from the internet, it is almost all done in cahoots with another recent switcheur (read: poseur) on the "inside" or one that "knows" someone on the inside.
So if we have these so-called "switchers" from Linux and Windows in the Mac community, facilitating crass, classless ass-pickery on our platform by encouraging more PC-type people to switch, just how far a stretch is it to say the PC users in charge of the MBU won't do the same when it comes to our applications? HMMMMM?!?!?!
