Talkback 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. 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.

Talkback The mac mini was not designed or set up with the security mac makes for it's servers to protect your files. Half an hour, as opposed to the five minutes it would take on a PC. Ofcourse the little noob hacker would be able to take it out.
