Apple Says Macs Are Safe, No Antivirus Needed
lobridge writes "Over the last two days multiple news feeds (and Slashdot) have been reporting that Apple has been quietly recommending antivirus software for their machines. It appears now that Apple has deleted an entry on their forums that suggested this and are saying that Mac computers are 'safe out of the box.'"
Of course there are. Apple however does a pretty good job of stopping any disclosure. If their "ignore the man behind the curtain" attitude extends to virii, there won't be any to check against.

Don't read many of daveschroeder's posts, eh? He has a tendency to be a bit wordy, but much of what he has to say is actual useful information, especially relating to Macs, even if he is an Apple fanboy at heart. ;)
I didn't even read that one; I skimmed it. Probably something to do with being attention-deficit you know. If I have to scroll a comment, chances are good it's a religious/fanboy posting. If you ask me, anyone who'd devote that much time to a post is either on Apple's payroll or needs to get out of the basement and get some sunshine.

Haha, Linux isn't an OS.
Nerd rage is the funniest rage.
But but but... Don't be a troll. If you have something to say that provides constructive feedback to the discussion rather than simply throwing out an implied insult to "fanbois", don't post.
At least you could have the guts to post a real insult if you have one. Like, "This flies in the face of the whole, 'it just works!' fanboi-ism. I believe that Apple has more style than substanc, and one day, this house of cards will collapse just like the failed policies of the Bush administration."
I don't agree with that statement, but if you're going to pick a fight, pick a freakin' fight! Now where did I put that Zoloft?
The CB App. What's your 20?
If Woz said his dick is safe, no condom needed, would you believe him?
Ummm.... you do know that today's drug companies create medicines for diseases that haven't been invented yet, right? I mean, before a specific drug came out, whoever heard of [i]Restless Leg Syndrome?[/i]
