Mac trojans and assorted malware have been around for awhile. What I'm not aware of are any successful Mac OS viruses in the wild, i.e. a "drive-by" infection: getting infected simply by opening an e-mail or a web page.
Given the ubiquity of little applets that are used on platforms like OSX and Windows in order to view various types of web data, and all the little business like Bonjour that a lot of people are unaware of but install because they feel safe with a Mac, it might be something of a distinction without a difference for most users.
What's insecure about Bonjour? It just advertises that services exist, it doesn't grant access to them. At most it saves an attacker the 5 seconds needed to do a portscan.
There was public disclosure. Adobe flash was publicly described as insecure by Steve Jobs many times.
The difference from the other things listed in this bulletin is that iPhoto is Apple software. They seem happy to describe security holes in other company's software.
Edison was a scam artist that took credit for other peoples work. His own personal work was mediocre at best. Now, if this was a lost Tesla recording or something, THAT would be news worthy.
And ya, i expect to be modded down, but if you are objective and do some research, you will see I'm right.
No. If you are objective and do some research, and then make a lot of money from it like Edison did, you can be sure that some worthless troll will come along and claim that you stole their ideas.
Besides, as others have pointed out, if people want to use Reader on your site's content, then there is something wrong with your design. Either clean it up, or decide you don't care. There is no "arms race" that you can possibly have. What, you're going to stop serving content to Safari? Good luck with that.
You're not thinking creatively enough. If a site wants to display ads, and you figure out one method of separating the ads from the articles, then they will just change the page design until it defeats that. There are lots of things they can do: - Don't supply the content if you don't download the ad. - Make the content and ad look as much alike as possible to the browser so it can't tell the difference. - Start merging the ads into the articles - imagine one big image file with ads and content, for example.
Obviously, any one technique can be defeated,but that's what an arms race is all about.
ACM never regained because the 60's and 70's were the early days when the most interesting computer science was being invented. Now the stuff they publish is only of interest to the author. I see an interesting title once in a while, but I don't remember the last time the article lived up to it.
Why do none of the symbols in the keys match the chart body? For example, Scorpio has a black triangle in the key, but the line on the chart has black diamonds. Is the chart software flaky or are the results being rigged?
That's nothing. I heard about some UK students who built an electric car that could go 400 kM! It has a 2.6 L engine. I haven't found the weight in stone yet.
Mechanical disks have lots of great failure modes. You can do seek tests until the arm breaks or voice coil fails, you can do write/read tests until you get enough bad sectors that they can't recover the data any more, or you can do start-stop of the drive motor until it dies. Another good one is to stop the motor for a while, then see if it starts up or has stiction (sic), but that test takes a long time. If the drive is not held rigidly enough, vibration will kill it, and it it isn't cooled properly, heat will kill it. Did I miss any?
"...uses this for a few seconds on one or more electronic exchanges, and so on, while opponent algorithms attempt the same maneuvers, risking billions of dollars in the process."
I really love going to a site and being told my software is out of date, but please click on this link (as Administrator of course) and install new software that we promise is just the new version of Adobe flash. Sure. I trust you.
The situation in Pennsylvania is that I wish Molly Ivins were still alive to write about a worse state government than Texas.
The accounts have criticized Corbett's use of grand juries, suggesting he used the investigations for political gain and to go after political opponents
In other words, he is using a grand jury to go after people who have accused him of abusing his power.
"Having a monopoly is, in itself, legal." No, it's not. There are anti-trust laws for specifically this sort of thing.
If that were true, the first company to make any product would always be breaking the law. What's illegal is using control of a market to stifle competition.

I really, really hope this article will soon be tagged "whatcouldpossiblygowrong"
Doesn't sound like a very good idea to release huge amounts of a newly developed, untested, unverified bacteria into our oceans...
I think you meant "What could possibly grow wrong"

caller ID is spoofed, but here's a sample of calls using that ID.
More likely this guy has a completely different name, borrowed some of your mail to get the details, and is now using your name to buy stuff.
I used to have a separate line for a modem and would answer any calls on it "Wrong number"
However, it's trivial to make a solid white image 800x600.
Caller ID is always spoofed in scam calls.

Did the car company offer you "Unlimited cars*" when you signed up?
* Unlimited plans subject to availability. Terms and conditions may be changed without notice. Current offer includes only a 1975 Trabant.
I have this system. If the first lawsuit fails, I sue again for twice as much. Then if that fails ...

Wasn't Robot Wars more fun to watch, though?

Perl has plenty of Windows-specific modules made for this type of application.
You would have the annoying "Firefox Freeze" waiting at 99% for the page to finish loading. However, this is so common that nobody would notice.
