Attached Link: Macbook wi-fi hacked in seconds

Quote from the hackers: "We're not picking specifically on Macs here, but if you watch those 'Get a Mac' commercials enough, it eventually makes you want to stab one of those users in the eye with a lit cigarette or something"

The linked article above is fact, this one here is opinion, but still about right.

Declaration of vested interest: I've used macs in the past, and had one eat an important CD and completely lock up.  At least I can hack windows :)

I reckon it shows the stupidity of those knuckle-dragger script-kiddies. apple corporate suits put out the commercial, so these goons go after the victims (users), not the corporate suits. p.s. I've got an intel iMac, but never bought one of the macbooks, due to rumours about misapplied heat sink grease and battery overheating. not to mention the slave labour in the PRC factory camps.

HA! They used a 3RD party wireless card and hooked up one computer to the other then claimed that they hacked a Mac. Get real dudes and get your facts right. Oh ya and check out the follwing links.

Aren't those the same kind of distortions that are in the Mac commercials? Does it matter if it was a 3rd party card or different drivers as long as it was able to gain access to the system?

The advertisers that made those commercials must be stuck in the 80's since that's the view of the Mac's and PC's they portray. It would be a lot more fair to include the progress made in the last 20 years and show the comparison of Mac's and PC's as they are today.

If you want to get real, then you should admit that have been virus and security risks on Mac's for some time, just not as many since it less popular because there aren't as many Mac's. You can get get the facts here:
