I can see how the increased market share would make them more of a target, but I can't really imagine how the change in CPU would.
Let me tell you how: most hackers and virus writers just don't buy Macs. Many of them have machines enough to run games and their favorite Linux distribution and many of them don't have the money to pay for shiny overpriced (in their view) boxes with eye candy OS...
What happens now, however? OSX runs on Intel, it was leaked on the Internet, the naturally curious hakcers install it and hack around. And start writing Mac viruses right from their PC boxes.
It's a pretty trivial fact, one would say "yea sure as if they couldn't buy a Mac before", yea maybe they could but they didn't, fact of life. Now they just don't have to.
- Possessed by as ghost - A little midget living in your stomach - Selling your soul (most characteristic: you start believing Earth isn't flat and start doubting it's the center of the world) - Going blind when you... uhmm you know.
Mod me down and call me trolly, but if Firefox slips to a 2010 release with half its features removed, you'll know that delivering large projects out the door ain't easy, maybe we'll have more pitty for Microsoft's poor Vista then.;)
Now you know why Microsoft is working hard on a set of tools that prevent typosquatting.
However in this case, Google is pretty obviously doing *evil* by the very definition of the word, and that definitely speaks bad of it.
Google specifically has tools and offers for filling vacant domains with ads... WHO would use that except domains of generic words and typosquatters? No excuses this time, Google.
When you move out of your mom's house and have a real job then no $200-300 is not expensive for a video card.
Shit you're right! When you move out, they give you a free house and car and clothes, and utilities and all! Now you can use your ''real job'' income to finance your gaming machine, wiiiiiii!
You don't have the moral high-ground that you seem to think you do.
You gotta become a politicial you know, they like to shoot people's opinions down since "they don't have the moral right". Where do I buy that right. I refuse to eat, sleep and breath for 10 years? Or? What should I do.
Shit, I just did it for the cause!

Thanks for that, I'm looking to update my card but always the next big thing comes up (or how about HD support now.. the latest bullshit) and I gotta sell my grandma to afford it so I'm just stuck with my GeForce MX4 here.
I felt really cheated by the article title you know? It went like: Forget about expensive video cards! Ok did you forget? Now we'll remind you with this review of $300 video cards...
Wait a second, since when $300 for a friggin' video card is not expensive? Because there's $500 cards? If there were plenty of $2000 video cards, would $1000 be not expensive then?
Someone's being brainwashed here...
When a pretty good video card is in the range of $80-$160... now that's more reasonable.
Some people produce products and sell them. They are ok.
Some other people produce products but give them out for free. They believe that is fair and money will naturally come from some place. Years pass, money don't come. So naturally, the people in question gotta rework their model so they can put food on the table. They will try to sell T-shirts, logos, tea cups and even branded underwear, but won't sell their products.
Years pass, some of those people are still living in their mom's basements (pardon the cliche) working on their pet projects, while some other ones move on with their lives and sign up to work in a real company. They succeeded with never sold their products, they instead abandoned them and became yet another drone in the enterprise industry.
Not everyone is Richard Stallman and can afford to fund his favorite organisations by selling autographs, but apparrently in the end even Richard Stallman has to sell something, there's no free lunch.
And don't put me that crap about reducing demand. It's embarassing to sell your signatures especially given your status, and especially given that you can't really make a change with those money (100 bucks a month?). You can instead say "I'm sorry I'm really busy, glad we met" and continue on your way. Was that so much harder? I guess it's easier to sell your dignity.
We watch 24 where the guy does everything in his power to get the information he wants. Then we find out, "Oh Me Oh My! The NSA really DOES spy! I'm Outraged!". We should honestly pick a position.
Yea, how the 'ell dare we watch movies & not want NSA to spy on us? Nonsense!
Is it bad that schools teach kids just to work in Word in Excel? Sure. In the university where I've been we actually had to learn by heart the history of DOS, such as when hard drive support was introduced and other nonsense. Can you imagine? This was at a time Windows XP was the norm.
Now, regarding whether kids program. Kids used to program (me included, on my Apple II, ah good old times..) because this was the only thing you could do on a computer in those days.
Want to write a tune? Wanna draw a picture? All I had is DOS, so I had to cod my own music sequencer and drawing programs.
At the same time I bet not many kids back then were modding their TV-s and ovens, so again, it's not that kids are dumber these days, just programming is less necessary with the current advancement of software to get casual work done.
What we can see nowadays is plenty of kids coding HTML/JavaScript, that's of course much higher level, but so is AppleSoft Basic from the 1980-s and even assembler, compared to hex sequences printed on punch cards, isn't it.

I suggest a reasonable compromise: let's blame Batman.
- President of USA: will find weapons of mass destruction in my ex-employer's building and nuke them to save the world - CEO and CSO of Microsoft: will make Windows and IE open source - Owner && President of Playboy Magazine (not just one magazine, the company): will hang around plenty of naked good looking blonde chicks - Donald Trump: I'll confess it's a friggin' rug and be done with it
Knowing more about a problem helps solving it, more, than it helps people causing problems... Would you get less spam, if only IT research guys and spammers knew how to spam "properly"? We don't need another "keep it silent - it's not a problem"
Good, good, I'm happy you're such an idealist and protector of the "information wants to be free" movement.
Now let me tell you how it works in real world: every tiny friggin' advantage counts, and it adds up with the other tiny friggin' advantages. Is it legal or ok to share around information on how to build a gun with home materials? No. You can go to jail for that.
And let me tell you: when you spread information that makes it easier to perform illegal activities, a lot of people decide that maybe it's not so bad, or hard to do it and try it.
Yes you may argue that people "aren't idiots" and they know better, but let's face it, they don't. A lot of people including you or me, are heavily influenced in their action by what they are presented every day in the form of information and knowledge.

This is a non story. I really don't understand how anyone would hold Google culpable for this.
How about this little artifact: Google AdSense for Parked Domains

Twenty-seven pages? Gimme a fucking break. Think they're milking it a touch?
They are, and this is why when I see an article with more than 3 pages I just click the last page for the conclusions by habit.
I don't know why the editors think their readers can be arsed to click for a new page after each word, because it definitely doesn't work.
