Bruising Apple's ego!

I bet the guys at Microsoft will love that headline; "Leopard hacked in 30 seconds". In fact, after years of Apple bragging about making more secure Operating Systems, I wouldn't be suprised if the story made it into Microsoft's next keynote address!

If you look closely however, the hacker confesses to being more familiar with macs, which he cites as the reason he chose the mac over the other 2 systems.
Isn't it also the case that most bank roberries are carried out by people familiar with that particular branch?
