Security FUD In Action: Not Windows' Fault, Nope, Not at All
,----[ Quote ]
| But Vista was released in Jan. 2007, and Windows
| 7 was released October 2009, and they're
| supposed to be all more secure. Sure, there is
| still a huge legacy Windows base...but when you
| read malware definitions you quickly learn that
| the malware don't care, all Windows are equally
| tasty.
|
| This type of reporting is little more than
| propaganda. The goal is to convey the same
| message over and over: Cybercrime is entirely
| the fault of cybercriminals and careless users.
| Malware targets all PCs, that's just the way it
| is and it's nobody's fault, except criminals and
| careless users. But this is pure baloney: The
| porous nature of Windows, and the entire
| Microsoft software stack, is the problem. Don't
| let anyone make you believe otherwise.
|
| What would it be like if Linux, or any real
| multi-user networking operating system with a
| sane design, were the standard operating system?
| I bet money we would not have tens of millions
| of Linux PCs in botnets, even with a large
| population of unsophisticated users. No botnets
| pumping out phishes, spam, and malware, no
| drive-by infections from merely visiting
| infected Web sites, no getting cooties from
| simply having an infected email or document on
| your system without even opening it, no viruses
| or worms spreading to millions of other
| computers in an eyeblink. It takes special
| talent and OS architecture to make those things
| possible.

Apple Bullies Bloggers, Again
,----[ Quote ]
| Apple has a history of using lawyers against bloggers. There was
| the now infamous Think Secret lawsuit, which may have had merit.
| But they also engage in clearly superfluous, bullying tactics as well.

| [...]
|
| The offending download page is here (the software has now been
| removed). Blogger Paul O'Brien simply linked to this download
| page and included a screenshot of the user interface and also
| received a cease & desist letter from Apple's lawyers.
