#11 With the current flock of sheeple that passes up for citizens, you still wonder why they put up with anything? Sheeple are willing not only to be taken advantage, but love it and fight you if you try to talk some sense into them.

This I would call “fight for your turd”. It all began with macfans

About the droid. I don’t see why they don’t make these things with either a battery that is easy to pop out and swap out or simply use a bigger battery or at least offer it as an option.

I guess I don’t get it. You could make the thing a tad thicker and make the battery a heck of a lot bigger on many of these phones. I don’t like being caught with a dead phone but it looks like a lot of people don’t mind all that much.

BTW, here’s a pic of a macfan crying that his beloved mac anything doesn’t get virus http://tinyurl.com/ygx8b88

#8 Is just pathetic how macfans try to avoid the reality of anything mac not being virus free and invulnerable.

Most windows virus get in from morons clicking on an attached file sent by anybody. If you apply that lame macfan excuse to my windows example, it would be equally stupid.

I haven’t seen any winmobile device with a virus in yet there are plenty of cooked roms installed into them. Nobody gets a virus in winmobile from jailbraking them from the carrier, wereas it has been demonstrated oy!phones do get it.

Almost anybody that gets a virus in windows is a moron. It could also be said that buying anything mac makes you an instant moron. Getting a virus on a mac gives you the double moron award.

#6 So if someone is running 7 via bootcamp on a mac, and it gets infected by a virus, guess that means the mac is vulnerable, or as you put it “a sift for malware”. Jailbroken iPhones means the software was altered to let more applications to run on it (to include malware).

This bores me, let me know when an iPhone has not been jailbroken gets some malware, that will be interesting.

BTW, I’m a Blackberry, Mac and Windows 7 user

Admob, ah yes, another piece of ad-crap for Ghostery to handle. No problem.

#1 & #2 If only you knew how lame you both look making excuses to try to minimize the fact that mac products are a sift for malware only not worth exploiting.

Bad job at that deflection, BTW

John, I’m going to use your own “bitch” against you. In the latest NA you bitched about people not putting source links in their articles. Yet you don’t even use source links here.

Troublemaker said what I was about to post… John really skimmed headlines today without getting the details.

Not a Rick Astley movie either, just the wallpaper gets changed plus some other things happen.

Also, it’s not enough to merely have a jailbroken phone. You are only vulnerable if you haven’t changed the default password for SSL. So, only some negligent hackers are affected.
