Some "IT of Course" (what an ass wipe) posted a link to the story about OSX being hacked in 7 minutes...It's a spoof you moron. Read the comments. The rabid Windows zealots are in their usual rare form. The same shit i have been listening to for years from "IT of course" guys. Something very odd is going on here. We'll see what happens with the real test. I somehow think if it happens it won't be as easy as 30 minutes. This test is set up on a Mac MINI & isn't even as secure as a home system according to the article that accompanies it. Maybe Munir Kotadia could take a shot at it since you should be some kind of expert when you write these kinds articles. This seems like nothing short of a smear campaign. Is OSX perfect. Nope. It's a hell of a lot more secure than the present state of Windows.
