Thats because most people who use a mac don't have anything worth stealing on their computer

And it's a bit of an urban myth that Macs don't get virus'. they're just harder to make & spread, but they are still there

IIRC, a couple of years ago, there was something like a contest inviting "hackers" to attack OS X with viruses and so on. one of them actually made it (and won a 15.000 $ prize), even if he didn't found a real bug in the OS but just a sort of "door opened" where the system wasn't asking about permissions or something. obviously, they fixed that.

I remember reading about this.

It's not a flaw in the system per se, it's the Safari web browser that is extremely vunerable to hacking.

Took the guy two minutes.

somebody one floor downstairs of me is frantically busy to put all his PC based stuff on his new MacBook, so he can serve the UCP community much better than he already did.
Are you saying this is a hype?
