Insain Computer Angst...

hm, ok, so i was talking to an old friend about computers and breaking systems etc. and he sent me to a sight on a hack carried out on a macbook.
put simply, the guy took advantage of a usb wireless card pluged into a macbook,and used that as an access point to get complete control of the computer.

i no that sounds dull...
anyway... after reading about it and watching the video, i read through some of the comments.....

now, it was done on a macbook due to the fact that thats what they had, to show it works on most operating systems, not just windows, and also coz the whole "mac is so secure" bullshit that the im a pc, im a mac adds give off...

the thing is... i read the comments, and it was insain...
so many guy bitching about how great windows is, and how great mac is...
it was STUPID!
like blah blah... mac never has security issues...
blah blah ,more people using macs, more threat of security being broken as bigger insentive etc....
blah blah winblow sux.... blah blah

now i no michael doesnt like mac... and i no most windows users dont ( i didnt use to) but then you try it... and its not all that bad at all....

but no operating system is perfect, and no operating system is secure....
systems can always be broken...

so for god sakes people... stop fighting over it.... i swear, some of these mac addicts, who cant just take criticism and post a smart reply...makes me ashamed to be associated with you...

I'm sorry, I can't follow your post, but this is my understanding of the jist of it:
1. mac says they're bulletproof but they're not
2. more people are using mac thus higher chance of hackers successfully gaining access
3. most windows users hate mac

True, true and maybe not true. I don't hate the mac, i hate windows but indifferent about mac.
Do not judge that you have no knowledge of.
