So Mac and Apple lovers are still desperately trying to justify paying 5x as much as PC users for something that is incompatible with anything? As for catching a virus, with my complete internet security I do not have that problem.
Never liked Apple’s attitude. They sell you everything and all their producs are totally unfriendly. My PC is an HP and it been performing beatifully for the past 3 years. I think Apple is more name than quality.
So, now we’ve got another fan claiming that another technology was invented by Apple? The “Cloud” concept has been around before Apple. Oh, and, the iPhone 5? It takes a backseat to the S3. I looked at both the hardware and the software and the iPhone is a dismal follow up to Apple’s far more revolutionary products in the past. For the first time, there’s a better alternative to the iPhone and it came out before the iPhone 5 and it’s STILL better. It’s sad that the fans can’t at least be honest about it but then the critics of the past weren’t either so I guess it’s natural. Natural, but still sad.
I posted this one because today’s the one year anniversary of Steve Jobs passing. I actually did this one the morning after he passed for my newspaper submission, and I enjoyed the way it turned out.
For the record, I actually use a PC for most everything, although I do own an iPad and iPhone. I just think Apple is a topical subject for this particular era.
Seems I jumped the gun. I too didn’t realize it had been a year. I guess that’s what I get for reading my comics before the news. I’ve never cared for Apple’s proprietary closed business model nor did I care much for some of Jobs tendencies but there’s no denying he was one of if not the greatest innovator of his time and it’s hard to believe that it’s already been a year since he passed away. His insistence on quality, simplicity, and usability is what made Apple great. It remains to be seen how the company will fair without him.
The hilarious part of this, to me, anyway, is that I was perusing the software section of my local store for an Antivirus suite, and I found Norton makes a line of antivirus programs for Macs.
I can’t imagine why they’d make it if there wasn’t a demand. The Macs get no viruses thing is either an outright fib, or has long since been defeated by an enterprising geek.
Also, this isn’t to disparage Mister Jobs in any way, but doesn’t it seem weird that an avowed Buddhists’s main claim to fame was making people desire his products?

That’s the problem with daemon processes.

Macs can get malware too. But I would have thought the devil would have been in charge of the viruses, not victimized by them.

That’s okay. Hell is much more fun. Billy Joel said so.
