Keep thinking that.

But since the introduction of OSX and iOS, Macs are more vulnerable than ever.

That is what the (frank) I just said... the newer architecture and open environment makes it easier to happen.

It has nothing to do with how many Macs are out in the market.

what about Schraderbrau?

I'd have to check.

Clearly you know nothing about virus and why they ae created.

Have a nice day I-sheep.

*sigh*

More people will be tempted to exploit Apple's vulnerabilities if there are more users. It's common sense.

more people with osx/ios = more people to harm with viruses = more people working on viruses = likelihood of viruses on macs

Yes, Mac are getting more viruses. I never questioned that.

I stated that the reason was not because there are "few macs" out in the market place was not the reason.


Some suggest that Macs keep such a stellar reputation due to market share
- JDJ[source: Poremba]. Who'd want to write a virus for 100 computers when you could reach 1 million? The disparity isn't that big between the number of Macs and PCs, but you get the point. Not everyone agrees with the market share theory, though, claiming that Macs really do offer fewer opportunities for malicious code to spread [source: Porten]. The bottom line: Macs are not invulnerable and can get infected.

Another myth revolves around the UNIX foundation of Mac OSX (Mac operating system ten). Architecturally, UNIX is built with a more robust permission structure that prevents unauthorized execution of software. While Microsoft Windows will try to run a program any way it can, even if a virus is redirecting things, UNIX will stop in its tracks when it detects an unauthorized redirection and limit any damage [source: Perrin]. This is great, but it doesn't make your computer immune. It's similar to how exercising and eating right will help you stay healthier, but if a strong enough flu bug comes around you're still in for some misery. To infect a Mac, the viruses just need to be written well enough to get around the architecture. Not easy, but completely do-able [source: Rooney].

Inherently, writing viruses to infect Macs has always been more complex, but not impossible. And with the new architecture in Mac the last 4-5 years, it is becoming much easier to do so.

As far as the common consummers go, i'll agree that MAC is as widespread as PCs. It's when you get in the corporative side of computering that you'll notice a big disrepancy between macs and PCs. Basically every corporation and governments in the world are using PCs and guess what? Most viruses are aimed at governements and corporation networks.

Devils fans must be THRILLED.

13 year deals for both, ouch!

Burke- Jay McClement is a good two way center who can win faceoffs and be out on the ice in the last minute of the game.

WTF Minnie getting BOTH Parise and Sutter? What kind of sorcery is this?!

And they have the deepest prospect pool in the league... this team's gonna get scary fast.

I'm guessing both will be really more like 9 or 10 year deals with the last 3 being for about 1 mill a season.
