You could try and argue (I guess) that it's not an "Icon" but it looks pretty damn icon-sized to me.
This is me writing this reply in inkwell in Jaguar so this is not a new feature - it is really slow though - and I can 't work out how to do full stops
The difference appears to be (they mention elsewhere) that they made the decision to enable Samba on the Mac. It was attacked so often because the scanners thought it was Windows.
Me too - in both the Jaguar and Panther versions of Safari - 1.0.3 (v85.8) and 1.2.3 (v125.9) respectively.
I agree with the above that this is the behaviour you'd want. Otherwise you'd have to prevent all tabs that weren't the front tab from opening dialogue boxes... and that's just stupid.
He took the USB drive that he had plugged into the device and *plugged* it into his iBook. Y'know, with a USB cable? I call that physical access.
"mount -t smbfs" would not have worked as the partition on the disk that holds the configuration information is not shared over samba (because Linksys are not complete fools) so mounting it over the network is not possible.
The error that the install gives refers to "winsrv" not "winserv" (according to screenshots I have seen elsewhere - the journalist may have gotten it wrong).
There are no files called "winsrv.*" on the trend micro page you linked to.
A quick google shows the "winsrv.dll" appears to be part of Windows, although I could be wrong.
Luckily, I left all this behind for the greener pastures of OS-X on my own machines, but I am still gonna have to deal with all this crap when I update family machines...
In IE, nothing to the left of the special character is shown, so it really looks like www.whatever.com. In mozilla et. al, it looks like www.whatever.com&item%3Dq209354@evil.com. Here, anyway.

Microsoft in copying Apple shocker!
On the other hand, given this is not the final UI, I suspect it'll look a lot different and given MS's current trend of making GUIs for 5 year olds, expect a sort of cross between XP's Luna(cy) and Aqua (it's called Aero apparently), with lots of "helpful" wizards an huge icons and buttons. Gah, Ick. etc.
I don't but I recently "switched" to a 12" ibook when my Vaio was stolen - it's the best upgrade ever (I am also a student and my course requires a decent implementation of Java, plus I like UNIX tools - the terminal is my most used app). I feel slightly annoyed that the 12" powerbook costs the same as my iBook and only 3 months later but hey - that's progress for ya.
I did however get to play with one of the 12" powerbooks in my local Apple reseller the other day and they are *much* faster - go for it. OS-X is a reasonably "nice" version of UNIX (I normally use NetBSD) and it has the infinite advantage over Linux in that things (hardware) just work rather than having to spend hours compiling kernel modules when you really need to be working.
To be honest, I'm a little confused by the article. The reviewer seemed to be criticsing the machine for being what it is - a smaller, lighter, cut-down version of the 15" powerbook or in his words an iBook with a G4. He seemed to somehow think Apple had a magic "make it smaller" device so that they could cram a 15" laptop into a 12" one. Also he seemd to think that Apple should use two different 12" displays on their different laptops. I certainly haven't had any of the display problems he claims with my iBook...
The whole point these machines is that they are ultra-portable (I carry mine everywhere) and in fact the only thing that worries me slightly is that the iBook is not a rugged as I would like, but the powerbook solves this by being made of Aluminium.
The die-hard mac users are right you know - it is a better world...
I've spent the last half hour trying to replicate this. I have tried as both and admin and normal user and have failed to do so...
I haven't had any printer problems and I still have/tmp on my iBook. I have my downloads folder set to the desktop and Safari is in the Applications folder..
You could be me! I too just got a shiny new iBook with X.2 - I would never have even considered a mac before OS-X. Only had it 6 days but already I am much happier than I was with my Vaio.
"We somehow are encouraging them," Chernin said. "It's a very tough generational problem."
This is (in the case of the UK anyway) due to the cost of CDs and DVDs (£12->£20 each (~$18->$30 I think)) which the younger gneration simply cannot pay. It is due to staggered release dates (which we don't want). If the entertainment industry cut the enormous markup they make and stopped such silly out of date practices they wouldn't have this problem.
Not for me anyway... I find that a single common menu bar is the most annoying part of the MacOS interface since with Windows and indeed Unix apps I can click on the menu bar of any application I have open (and pring it to focus at the same time depending on the window manager, on the mac you have to select the correct widow and then move the mouse to the top of the screen....
Yes - using linux is all very fine and well but it has some nasty suprises. For example on RedHat 6 upgrading to the next version of Sun's JDK (in this case 1.3) requires an upgrade to a new version of certain libraries and the recompiling of most of the software on the system.
While this is fine on a home hobbyist machine it is not very good if you have multiple users and especially not if you are selling computer time to companies. And why do you need Java 1.3 you ask? You need it because the Globus CoG toolkit needs it.

That's because they are using the Wine X11 widgets running under X-Windows on OS-X.
Obvious really.
And there was me thinking it was in size and weight...
Same here with both Safari 1.2.4 (v125.12) on 10.3.6 and 1.0.3 (v85.8.1) on 10.2.8.
Camino 0.8.2 is *definitely* vulnerable though so I'm definitely following the correct procedure to be exploited.
The difference appears to be (they mention elsewhere) that they made the decision to enable Samba on the Mac. It was attacked so often because the scanners thought it was Windows.
I certainly don't have it turned on on either of my Macs because *shock* I have no Windows machines.
I do have AFP enabled though, and Netatalk on my Linux machines...
Seems a bit contrived to me, because the only reason OS-X was attacked was because the attackers thought it was Windows.
Kinda makes the 0.26% for Linux meaningless...
Would it not then have been fair to enable the same services on the Linux box?
After all, in normal use sshd, samba, apache and maybe even ftpd *cringe* are liable to have been enabled?
Me too - in both the Jaguar and Panther versions of Safari - 1.0.3 (v85.8) and 1.2.3 (v125.9) respectively.

I call bullshit.
Erm...
It *really* helps if you read the article.
He took the USB drive that he had plugged into the device and *plugged* it into his iBook. Y'know, with a USB cable? I call that physical access.
"mount -t smbfs" would not have worked as the partition on the disk that holds the configuration information is not shared over samba (because Linksys are not complete fools) so mounting it over the network is not possible.
I'm not so sure...

I thought they already had - three in fact - Internet Explorer, Outlook Express and IIS. They seem to be getting away with it so far
Except that it's not the same bug.

That's copied too.
BeOS has a databse backed filesystem.

Because of course the Pentium is such a well known reliable design. I *really* would not want floating point problems during re-entry.

It works fine for me - it wanted to update some stuff in my system folder when I first stated it but that's all.

I don't even have one yet and I won't have to run linux on it when windows fails to run.
Good old NetBSD!

Nope, I get similar performance out of my w98 laptop. It crashed maybe three times last term.
