I don’t mind someone finding an exploit that works against Safari – heck, PayPal was warning customers not to use Safari last month – I just dislike the sensationalism in the articles that “Apple’s latest laptop” was “hacked in 2-minutes”…
Any Mac running 10.5.2 and web-surfing with Safari could have been exploited. [I use Camino on my Mac, so I may not be vulnerable]
There is nothing specific to the Macbook Air which aided in the exploit… but that doesn’t make good headlines, does it?
I pity anyone seen using a Macbook Air – for weeks/months from now – who I just -know- will have several idiots asking them why they are so stupid as to use a computer that can be “hacked in 2-minutes”…
#1 Thus spoke the macfan. -Nevermore!
Let the rationalizing cavalcade begin!
The worst thing for Apple fans is that they have been led to believe they are safe! I think almost forcing Safari on Windows machines through Apple update only makes security more of a problem. Just read an Apple forum and you will find all the Mac fans telling new users who ask if they need anti-virus software and other security measures that, “It’s a Mac. You don’t need it!” I just think Macs are sitting ducks for anyone who wishes to spread malware.
Gotta piss Steve Jobb off so it’s a good day.
For whom the bell tolls? it toll for the “safest” platform on earth.
Can china kill the merger? Yes, they can and probably will just to prove it.

Why are you holding back Pedro? you’re like an artist when it comes to Mac bashing! I keep checking back on this thread for nothing…let ‘er rip!!

How dare you speak bad about Macs! Apple invented home computing and everything Micro-sucks ever did they stole from Apple!
Pedro you Mac-bashing bastard!
#8 I’ll let you go easy believing you’re too darn young (and too drunk with mac kool aid) to know that there were several personal computers before mac came to be.
And educate yourself. mac and ms were both in a race to see who was faster to show Xerox Parc tech as their own. Only difference is MS only wanted to dominate software and it succeeded. Mac wanted to distort reality as brand itself as the inventor of transistors and anything there after.
I’m also amazed you forgot to mention mac is the safest platform on the universe.
There’s really no big rush for a Wilkins Ice Shelf update. It’s getting colder down there. January is when there might be some real action.
